📋 Ingredient Notes / Variations
- Pumpkin puree - Make sure that you pick up 100% pure pumpkin for the best results in this recipe. Homemade or canned broth will work.
- Heavy whipping cream - Keep this nice and cold until you are ready to use it.
- Powdered sugar - This will add a touch of sweetness. Don't use granulated sugar, because your whipped cream will be grainy.

👍 My notes
- Start with ⅓ cup of powdered sugar and taste as you go until the desired sweetness is achieved.
- If you want to serve it as a creamy dip and not as thick, place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and whip, the mixture will be creamy, but it will not get thick.
- Using a chilled bowl will allow your whipped cream to form medium peaks a little quicker. Just pop your bowl into the freezer for about 30 minutes before you make this fluffy dessert.
- Because this whipped cream is not stabilized like Cool Whip or whipped topping. Don't let it sit out and get warm as it will lose its light airy texture.
- It's important that you use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Pie filling can make your whipped cream runny instead of having a creamy texture.
🧺 How to store leftovers
Refrigerate - Store the cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the cream may lose some of its fluffiness after being stored.
Freeze - If you have leftover whipped cream and don't want it to go to waste, you can freeze it! Scoop dollops of whipped cream onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer the dollops into a freezer-safe bag or container. Use within 1 month for best results.
⌛ Make Ahead
I recommend that you make this whipped cream no more than 24 hours in advance. However, if you want to use it on top of hot beverages, you can use the freezer method and have the perfect dollops of cream for the top of your drinks.
🍽️ Perfect pairings: what to serve with
This homemade whipped cream can be used on top of all your favorite desserts such as this Cinnamon Cake Roll, Chocolate Pumpkin Cake, or even Condensed Milk Ice Cream. It also tastes amazing with a warm cup of hot chocolate or your favorite morning coffee.
