Weeping whipped cream? Don’t cry – use this fix! ( :
Ever have your whipped cream deflate and get all weepy on you? Yup, me too! Now…if I want to make my whipped cream ahead of time, I add a little instant vanilla pudding mix to the cream.
I tested many batches of whipped cream with varying amounts of pudding mix as I wanted to use the smallest amount possible and still have the whipped cream hold up. 1 tablespoon per cup of heavy cream does the trick perfectly! There are other ways to stabilize whipped cream, but this way is simple and works great for me.
I keep my pudding mix in a storage container and tape on a cut-out from the box so I know exactly what’s inside.
Makes Great Frosting Too!
This Stabilized Whipped Cream also makes a great Whipped Cream Frosting! I use it in my Berry Shortcake Sheet Cake Recipe!
Great substitute for Cool Whip!
I have had great success using this as a substitute for Cool Whip in many recipes too: Ambrosia type salads, trifles, pies, whipped Jello and no-bake cheesecake! Stay tuned for a brand new no-bake cheesecake recipe coming soon!

- You can whip by hand with a whisk or use your hand or stand mixer with whip/whisk accessory. Make sure your cream in nice a cold. You can also chill your bowl and beaters for extra fast whipping!
- Add cream and pudding mix to bowl and whip until lightly thickened. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until desired consistency. If making ahead, store covered in the refrigerator.
I like my whipped cream lightly sweetened, you can add a little more powdered sugar if you'd like it a little more sweet.
The recipe is easily doubled for making about 4 cups. I use this amount when I frost cakes. 2 cups heavy cream, 2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
I do enjoy all of you recipes and tips. I’ve learned a lot. Thank you! When will you be putting a cookbook to get her? This would wonderful.
Thanks Mary Ann! Glad I have been helpful! Spatulas crossed on a cookbook!!!
Love you on QVC. Your so informative. This is a perfect recipe for me with having family dinners and being able to make this whip cream earlier. Want to try your berry shortcake sheet cake soon.

So great to hear Lorraine! Thanks so much! Take care! Tina <3
Love you recipes. I have many more to make including this one. I received the Kitchenaide 5-cup food processor, recently.
I believe I saw you use that for shipping cream also. Am I correct?? I wish they had a recipe book for that little guy.
Hi Mary – Thank you! There are some recipes on QVC product page for that item. I have some on my site too. Chopper Recipes
I meant Whipping cream not shipping. My fingers became dyslexic.
I do that all the time!
Thank you for all the great tips, you are the best!! I was wondering if you could use sugar free pudding mix? My husband and son-in-law are both diabetic. Granted your not adding a lot of the mix and wouldn’t have to add the sugar but every bit helps.
Worth a try Jane! I would think it would work, but can’t say for sure until I give it a whirl myself.
Cookbook! Yes, please!
On my bucket list for sure!!!
