After all these years of buying frozen whipped topping like cool whip or dozens of cans of store bought whipped cream, containing whatever additives they have in them, I can say with assurance that homemade whipped cream surpasses both in flavor and quality.

With its light and billowy texture, this dessert topping is perfect for pies, cakes, waffles, cupcakes, cheesecake, trifles, and so much more. The list could go on for days! This easy recipe requires only 3 simple ingredients and will produce the most luscious and creamy homemade whipped topping you’ve ever had!
