This recipe is quick and family-friendly, perfect for dressing up cakes, pancakes, or even enjoying straight from the bowl (we won't tell!).

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar adjust based on desired sweetness
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries plus extra for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional but recommended

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Raspberries: Start by rinsing your fresh raspberries under cold water. Pat them dry gently with a paper towel.
  2. Blend the Berries: Place the raspberries in a blender or food processor and pulse them a few times until you have a smooth puree. If you like a bit of texture, you can leave a few small chunks.
  3. Strain the Puree: For a smoother cream, pour the raspberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. You can skip this step if you prefer a more rustic feel.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Incorporate Raspberry Puree: Gently fold in the raspberry puree into the whipped cream until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the cream too much; you want it to stay fluffy!
  6. Serve & Enjoy: Transfer your raspberry whipped cream to a serving bowl or use it immediately to top your favorite desserts. Don’t forget to garnish with extra raspberries!
