INGREDIENTS IN PUMPKIN SPICE WHIPPED CREAM

Heavy Cream – You can use cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream. The creamier the better. Since whipped cream is made with heavy cream, other types of milk, like whole milk, won’t work.

Real Pumpkin Puree – You can use homemade pumpkin puree, or store-bought pumpkin puree from the grocery store. We don’t recommend pumpkin pie filling, but you can use it if you like.

Powdered Sugar – We’re not using too much sugar in this easy recipe. Just enough to give it a light touch of sweetness. We haven’t tried using honey or agave syrup.

Vanilla – Vanilla extract adds to the flavor profile and compliments the pumpkin flavor.

Pumpkin Pie Spice – You can purchase pumpkin spice or use your own pumpkin spice. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can use ground cinnamon. It won’t have the same flavor, but it will still be delicious. An alternative would be to use a pumpkin spice extract in place of the vanilla extract.

BEST TIPS FOR MAKING PUMPKIN WHIP CREAM

I don’t recommend whisking this pumpkin whip cream by hand unless you have really amazing upper body strength! Aside from being tiring, it will take a very long time to make pumpkin whipped cream with a hand whisk. Use an electric hand mixer and a mixing bowl, or your stand mixer with a whisk attachment for the best results.
Be careful not to overwhip the whipped cream. The cream will start to curdle and turn into butter if you go past the stiff peaks stage. If you’re using a stand mixer, don’t walk away from it!
Buy the right pumpkin. At the grocery store, you’ll find two different types of canned pumpkin. One will say “pie filling”. That’s the wrong one. Buy the can labeled “pure pumpkin” instead. Pure pumpkin has the best natural flavor.
You can use homemade pumpkin puree in this recipe, but be sure that you’ve strained it and blended it well so that there are no lumps or stringy bits left.
For a vegan option, use full-fat coconut cream in place of the heavy whipping cream.
