Looking for a way to elevate your whipped cream game?

Olive oil whipped cream is a delicious twist on the classic dessert topping, and it's surprisingly easy to make. Plus, using olive oil in place of traditional ingredients can actually make your whipped cream healthier, without sacrificing any flavor. 

Why Olive Oil Makes Better Whipped Cream

Olive oil is a popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, and for good reason. It's full of heart-healthy fats and antioxidants, and it adds a rich, complex flavor to dishes.

Olive oil whipped cream has a unique texture and flavor that traditional whipped cream can't match. The olive oil adds a subtle fruity and earthy flavor, while also creating a whipped cream that is more stable and less likely to deflate or curdle.

Notes:

  • Be sure not to over-beat the mixture, as it may turn into a thick paste or separate.
  • For a stronger vanilla flavor, you can add more vanilla extract, to taste.

Instructions:

  1. Chill a large mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Pour the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract into the chilled mixing bowl.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed for about 1-2 minutes until the cream starts to thicken.
  4. With the mixer still running, slowly pour in the olive oil.
  5. Continue to beat the mixture for another 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form and the whipped cream is light and fluffy.
  6. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
