Cinnamon-Spiced Whipped Cream Recipe for Desserts

This homemade cinnamon whipped cream is simple to make and brings a cozy, spiced flavor to many breakfast dishes and desserts. It’s light, fluffy, and perfect for topping coffee, waffles, pancakes, fruit, apple pie, or ice cream.

This whipped cream is a favorite year-round but especially in the fall when cinnamon pairs beautifully with warm fruit and baked treats. It adds a homemade touch that elevates even simple frozen waffles or a morning cup of coffee.

Ingredients needed:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup confectioner’s (powdered) sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to make the cinnamon whipped cream:

Combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Using a handheld mixer or the whisk attachment on a stand mixer, whip on medium to medium-high speed until the cream forms soft to medium peaks. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.

Tips for perfect consistency:

Decide whether you prefer a softer dollop or a firmer peak. Whip in short bursts and stop frequently to check the texture. Overwhipping will turn the cream grainy and eventually start to form butter, so watch it closely and stop when you reach the desired texture.

Serving ideas:

This cinnamon whipped cream pairs well with many dishes. Try it with:

• Apple pie or Dutch apple pie
• Waffles, pancakes, or French toast
• Coffee, hot chocolate, or iced coffee drinks (for hot drinks, freeze small dollops on a sheet pan and add frozen pieces so they hold their shape)
• Cooked cinnamon apples, air fryer peaches, or air fryer caramelized bananas
• Banana bread or other quick breads
• Ice cream or fresh fruit
