Our delicious orange flavored whipped cream recipe is a delightful version of flavored cream. This flavor is created, in our case, by a dash of Cointreau, along with a bit of sugar, and whipped up together with heavy cream.
An absolute delight is the taste of this whipped cream with an intense orange flavor! This version pairs perfectly as a topping for hot chocolate or milkshakes and a pretty garnish for a delicious chocolate cake.

🥘 Ingredients
- Powdered Sugar
- Heavy whipping cream - go for a high-fat content here to achieve the perfect texture.
- Cointreau - can be replaced by orange juice or orange syrup.
See the recipe card for quantities.
🔪 Instructions
Add heavy cream, sugar, and Cointreau in a tall bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.
If you plan on using the flavored whipped cream immediately, spoon it into a piping bag fitted with a star tip after whipping and start decorating.
If any of the orange-flavored whipped cream is left over, you can put it in a well-sealed container (such as a Weck jar) and store it in the fridge for up to three days.
🍑 Variations
🍽 Equipment
- Electric mixer or food processor
- Tall mixing bowl - for whipping the cream
- Piping bag with a star tip
🌡 Storage
You can store the flavored whipped cream in the refrigerator for up to three days. Ensure you keep it in a well-sealed container so it doesn't take on a taste/smell from the fridge.
💭 Top tip
If you prefer alcohol-free orange-flavored whipped cream, substitute with orange juice from fresh oranges or orange extract for the Cointreau.
If you like to color your flavored cream orange, we recommend adding a few drops of food coloring here while whipping. The Cointreau itself is clear and does not add any color to the cream.
