Almond whipped cream can be made in just a few minutes with three minimal ingredients and without adding artificial flavors or chemical frippery.
Our whipped cream, refined with grated almonds, captivates with an intense almond flavor and is suitable as an exquisite topping, especially for cakes and coffee drinks.
I particularly like this almond whipped cream because of the small chunks of almonds, which give the cream a wonderful creamy texture and add something to nibble on, which is usually not the case with whipped cream.
🥘 Ingredients
- Powdered sugar
- Heavy whipping cream
- Grated almond nuts
See the recipe card for quantities.
🔪 Instructions
Whip up the whipped cream with the powdered sugar in a high mixing bowl until soft peaks form (about 1-2 minutes).
Then add the grated almonds and whip again with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Spoon the prepared almond whipped cream into a pastry bag with a star-shaped nozzle and use it to refine your coffee and delicious cakes.
🥜 Substitutions
Suppose you don't have any grated almonds at home. In that case, you can replace them with an almond liqueur like Amaretto, almond cream, or simply with almond syrup.
Remember that instead of 2 tablespoons of grated almonds, you only need a teaspoon of liqueur, cream, or syrup.
