How to make homemade whipped cream To make homemade whipped cream, whip together 1 cup of heavy cream with 1 Tbsp powdered sugar. You can do this in a blender, a food processor, you can use a hand mixer, a stand mixer, an immersion blender, a chilled bowl and whisk, or even shake it together in a mason jar. Pro Tip: Be careful not to over-mix or you could end up with butter. Store bought whipped cream can be used in place of homemade to save some time. How to make strawberries and whipped cream Next, cut up some fresh, sweet strawberries. Generally speaking, if strawberries are in season there is no need to add sugar to them. If they are not as sweet as you would like, sprinkle them with a small amount of sugar. Feel free to substitute your favorite fruit. Remember, a recipe is a guideline, not a rule!  Then, stir the strawberries, or whatever fruit you like, into the whipped cream. It’s best if you allow this mixture to sit overnight. But in a pinch, you can serve it right away. Finally, slice up a pound cake and top each piece with the whipped cream mixture. This 3 ingredient dessert is simple, fresh, and delicious! Enjoy!
