Name: Lemon Whipped Cream
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1/2 cup heavy cream; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest; 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Why This Recipe Works

We put a twist on the usual sweetened whipped cream by adding some lemon juice and zest. The tart, lightly sweet citrus flavor and creamy texture is an ideal complement to fruity desserts.

Before You Begin

If preferred, you can replace the lemon with lime.

Instructions

Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip cream on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar and lemon zest and juice, increase speed to medium-high, and whip until soft peaks form, 1 to 3 minutes.
