I don’t know what it is about pure maple syrup and cream, but they taste absolutely amazing together. Honey can be used as well, and is certainly delicious, but, especially this time of year, maple syrup gives a beautiful flavor in whipped cream.
I thought that I should share this recipe to go along with the Hot Cocoa recipe I just shared. They make an amazing pair. Of course, it works equally well on top of pumpkin pie, apple pie, sauteed apple slices and more. It’s so good, you might be tempted to eat it plain (just to warn you).
Maple Whipped Cream
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, not ultra-pasteurized
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, Grade B
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (gluten-free, if needed)
In a medium sized bowl, whip the ingredients until fluffy. Serve immediately.
You can easily double or triple this recipe.

This makes me happy
I’ve wondered about using maple syrup but haven’t tried it yet. I always use sucanat and my husband was just saying how it gets too dark and heavy tasting for him. I’ll do this next time, we love maple syrup here at our house!
stevia works well for a lighter flavor (maybe 1-2 drops Nunaturals per cup cream?)
What brand(s) of heavy whipping cream — or milk products in general — is/are not ultra pastuerized? I know the benefits of raw. I do not have access to that.
This is how we make whipped cream. It’s the best!
This sounds so good… Has anyone ever tried making whipped cream with a non-dairy substitute, like coconut cream?
Yup! It works well, but you have to keep it more cold. Keeping the can of coconut cream or milk in the fridge until you use it helps. Using a very cold bowl also helps. Then serving it right away or refrigerating after you make it. (Also, if using a can of coconut milk, scoop of and use only the “cream”. )
We found this totally amazing maple cream – no dairy, just maple syrup thinker Nd whipped to a cream, and OH MY GOSH!!! It was so totally amazing. From a small farm called Paul Bunyun (?) in PA. Not cheap but oh so worth it. Yummo!
I’ve had this before in a great restaurant… was so good! I like your version. I have some cream in my fridge too
I bet this would taste great with grated nutmeg on top of home made egg nog….oh that is just crazy good sounding!
