Just Jam Whipped Cream Topping

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 2 tablespoons seedless jam (strawberry, raspberry, apple, plum, or cherry)

Before You Begin

Brown sugar and sour cream aren’t the only ways to jazz up plain old whipped cream. Concentrated flavors from jams, juices, and liqueurs all work well. These whipped toppings are perfect with fruit desserts, cakes, or ice cream sundaes.

Instructions

  1. Beat heavy cream and granulated sugar to soft peaks. Add jam and beat to stiff peaks.

Why This Recipe Works

We wanted to jazz up a plain whipped cream recipe using ingredients we already had on hand. For a fruit-flavored whipped cream recipe, we included a seedless jam (such as strawberry, raspberry, apple, plum, and cherry). We also made sure the cream was well chilled, which made easy work of whipping it.
