Ingredients

- Granulated Sugar: A little sweetness to balance out the rich Kahlua.
- Vanilla Extract: It adds the subtle, sweet aroma of vanilla beans.
How to Make Kahlua Whipped Cream
Making this whipped cream is easy-peasy:
- Combine. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, Kahlua liqueur, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Whip. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. It should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Adjust. Taste and adjust the amount of Kahlua or sugar to your preference. For a stronger Kahlua flavor, add an extra 1/2 to 1 tablespoon.
- Serve or store. Transfer the whipped cream to a separate bowl and serve immediately. Orr cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Tips For the Best Kahlua Whipped Cream
Follow these tips and tricks for the perfect whipped treat:
- Let everything chill. Use cold heavy cream and chill your mixing bowl and whisk or beaters. Put them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before whipping for best results.
- Whip carefully. Start whipping the cream on a low speed. Then, gradually increase to medium-high as it thickens to prevent splattering and ensure even whipping.
- Keep a close eye. Watch the cream as it whips. Stop when it reaches stiff peaks. This avoids over-whipping, which can lead to a grainy texture.
- Serve immediately. For the best texture and flavor, serve the Kahlúa whipped cream immediately after whipping.
- Vary it up. Try substituting other flavored liqueurs like Baileys, Grand Marnier, or Cointreau for the Kahlúa. Or add cocoa powder or espresso powder for a mocha twist.
How to Store
If you aren’t serving it right away, here’s how to keep your whipped cream fresh:
To Store: Keep it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the whipped cream starts to separate, simply re-whip it for a minute to restore the fluffy texture.
To Freeze: Pipe or spoon dollops of whipped cream onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer until firm, about 2-3 hours. Transfer the frozen whipped cream to a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 2 months.
