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!
Make Ahead Whipped Cream (Stabilized)
Ingredients

- 1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

Thank you for your vote of confidence!! Hoping to soon!
Hey Tina. Please do a cook book.We all need one from you.
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.

I enjoy your recipes so much.! I too have learned a lot. Keep it up please. I always have a success when I follow your recipes. Thank you sooo much.l
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!!!
WILL there be a cook book soon
Hoping to have one soon John!
Will this last out of the fridge for 4 hours?
Hi Jen – I would probably keep in a cooler if I were traveling with it or keep it in a bowl set over some ice if I were to leave it out that long. Hope that helps!
Will sugar free pudding work just as well? If so, are the measurements the same amount?
Thanks!
Hi Mary – I honestly haven’t tried it myself. If I were to give it a shot I would start with the same measurements.
