Make Ahead Whipped Cream (Stabilized)

August 12, 2019 by Christina Verrelli 23 Comments

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)
You can stabilize whipped cream by adding a little instant pudding mix to the heavy cream. It will help to keep your whipped cream from weeping and deflating - so you can whip it up to a day in advance! This recipe also makes a great whipped cream frosting and I use as a substitute for Cool Whip.

Instructions
  1. 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!
  2. 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.
Recipe Notes

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.

CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM VARIATION: Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the powdered sugar.

    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.

    I meant Whipping cream not shipping. My fingers became dyslexic.

    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.

      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.
