Recipe Peanut Butter Whipped Cream

Make your dessert extra special with Peanut Butter Whipped Cream from scratch! 4 ingredients, 5 minutes of whipping time, and no leftovers.

Peanut butter whipped cream is nothing new on this blog. I’ve been pairing it with Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate for years. After all, chocolate and peanut butter is the best duo ever.

After years of making it, I figured out how to scale it down and make small batch whipped cream, which makes enough whipped cream for two servings.

Although both produce silky whipped cream, heavy whipping cream has a little more milk fat at 36%, which whips better and holds its shape more.

Whipping cream only has 30% milk fat, so it’s a little lighter and a little more time sensitive. That means it won’t hold its shape as much.

If you’re eating your whipped peanut butter right away, especially if it’s going to melt on hot chocolate, using either type of cream will work.

However, if you need it to last longer, such as on top of a chocolate cheesecake, you’ll want to use heavy whipping cream.

I always have heavy cream in my fridge, so it’s much easier (and faster) to make my own than run to the store.

First, you want to start with cold cream, Which is great because you don’t have to wait for it to come to room temperature.

Keep beating on high speed until stiff peaks start to form. This means when you pull the beater straight up, peaks will form in the cream and will not fall over.

If the tops of the peaks do fall over, that is the soft peak stage, which means you still have a few more minutes of beating left.

Once you reach the stiff peak stage, stop beating. If you go further than that, it’ll get grainy then eventually turn into butter.

If you do find yourself with overbeaten whipped cream, add in another tablespoon or so of cream to help smooth it out.

As I mentioned earlier, I got tired of throwing out leftover whipped cream. That’s why I opted to share my small batch whipped cream recipe.

With 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, you can still whip it up in a 5 quart stand mixer bowl with your whisk attachment. That’s the method I prefer.

Peanut Butter Frosting (easy, Creamy, Fluffy Recipe!)

Do not use a stand mixer larger than 5 quart or your cream will not whip. If that’s the case, whip it with a hand mixer in a smaller bowl.

If you find yourself without a mixer, you can certainly whip the cream by hand with a whisk. Not only does this build arm strength, the whipped cream will taste better since a lot more love went into making it.

If you find yourself cutting that in half to literally only 1 serving, you will probably have to use a hand mixer because the stand mixer bowl will be too big for 2 tablespoons cream.

Portion the whipped cream onto a cookie sheet (either piped or spooned), freeze until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Peanut Butter is delicious – our Peanut Butter Buttercream is one of our most popular frosting recipes. It is thick and rich and delicious. But some types of baked goods call for a lighter touch and when that is the case you should reach for this The Best Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting recipe. Light and airy like Whipped Cream but chock full of peanut butter flavor. So yummy!

Our Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting starts with powdered sugar, instant pudding and Peanut Powder. You can find Peanut Powder in the baking aisle of most grocery stores or here on Amazon. Peanut Powder is made from peanuts that have been crushed and pressed to remove all the peanut oil.

For best results, put a stainless steel mixing bowl in the freezer for at least an hour prior to making your Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting and then pour the whipping cream into the cold bowl.

Just before you get to stiff peaks add the White Chocolate Pudding mix. Lower to a slow speed and continue to mix the whipping cream and the pudding.

When the Peanut Butter Whipped Cream Frosting starts to come together, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides. Also check to make sure the pudding hasn’t clumped on the bottom. Fold the mixture a couple of times with a spoon. Turn the mixer back on for just a few revolutions. DO NOT OVER MIX or you will end up with Peanut Butter flavored butter! If the frosting gets too thick add a little bit of milk 1 teaspoon at a time. The frosting might taste a tiny bit grainy. That is the pudding mix and it will dissolve pretty quickly.

How much frosting will you need? That always depends on how thick or thin you apply the frosting or how much decorating you do but here are a couple of guidelines. Our recipe should make enough The Best Peanut Butter Whipped CreamFrosting to cover a 9″ x 13″ sheet cakeora two-layer 8″ cake. If you are making cupcakes, you should be able to frost 24 cupcakes if you apply the frosting with a knife. If you swirl on the frosting with a pastry bag like we have done here, you should be able to frost 15-18 cupcakes depending on the size of the swirl.

Easy Oreo Peanut Butter Whip Pie Recipe

I took the leftover whipped cream from these photos, and layered it with Oreos in a mini pie pan to make a mini peanut butter icebox cake. The ways to use this topping are practically endless, and I highly recommend you try them all. 😉

Measuring tip: When measuring sticky ingredients like peanut butter, I highly recommend measuring by weight instead of volume. Just stick your bowl on your kitchen scale and scoop the peanut butter into it with a knife or spoon. This way you don’t have to get a measuring cup dirty!

2. Whip the cream:Whether you’re using a whisk, handheld electric mixer, or a stand mixer, simply whisk the cream, starting on low, working up to high, until the cream whips up either to soft peaks for spooning over hot chocolates or stiff peaks for piping.

While you can beat it to stiff peaks and pipe it, if you use something like an open-star tip, those nice defined piping lines might begin to slump a little.

*Granulated sugar can be substituted for powdered sugar. Use 2 to 3 tablespoons for the full batch or 1 to 1½ teaspoons for a single serving.

*Whip cream will whip up faster and more easily in a chilled bowl. If whipping the cream by hand, place the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes before starting.

*For single-serving whipped cream, use a smaller bowl. You will also need to whip it by hand or with a handheld electric mixer as a stand mixer won’t be able to whip a single serving.

Storage: Store whipped cream covered in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. It may begin to deflate the longer it sits, but it will still taste delicious.
