Best Whipped Cream--Ever!

My favorite holiday secret weapon in the kitchen?  My iSi Cream Whipper!  It never fails that when I serve this whipped cream my "taste testers" R-A-V-E about it! 

Plus it's a cool, cool gadget (pardon the pun :) ).

I have the Mini Whip, which holds 1/2 pint of cream.  Don't be misled by the "mini"--according to the iSi website, it makes
about 2 1/2 cups of whipped cream.  I'll trust the folks at iSi on how much it makes, because I've never run short.
 2 1/2 cups of whipped cream is a lot of {DELICIOUS} whipped cream.

With these yummy ingredients, how can it not be DELISH???
Here's the "recipe":
1 pint whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Add all ingredients to the container.

If you would rather serve CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM (!!!)
simply add 2 tablespoons Hershey's Cocoa Powder to the recipe above,
and you have a delicious mousse!

The secret is in the "chargers"--that give the cream its volume.
(And I DO mean secret--I don't know what the chargers contain, but they surely do the trick!)

And it really IS this easy...
1 - Add your ingredients
2 - Attach the charger (and the spout)
Well...there is one more step--shake a few times, and...
3 - ...Serve!
Serve and impress!

Now, wouldn't you just LOOOVVVE to find one of these under the Christmas tree this year?
Or better yet, why not gift it to yourself before the holidays, so you can use it at every party?

  2. Wow, I have never even seen this -I'm going to go check it out. Sure beats getting the mixer out and making the whipped cream . Yummy :-)

  3. I have always been curious about these. How long does the charger last? Are they expensive? I whip my cream by hand using a whisk, while it takes a while I figure that at least I am burning off some calories before I have the cream LOL!

  5. I love mine but I have to say I have sprayed it all over the place a couple times. I think I need more practice.

  8. More Style Than Cash asked about how long the chargers last and the price of the iSi Cream Whipper. Good questions, so I'll respond for all. The chargers don't "last"; the "vial" is punctured once it's tightened into place and the contents (gases?) are released into the main receptable. The cream is whipped when the container is shaken, and it stays whipped. The iSi website says it stays fresh I think for 10 days. The price on the iSi website is about $50. I didn't check other sources for price. I hope you all find one under your tree this year!

  9. Lori E - I'll respond to you as a Comment so others benefit from the answer. No more whipped cream showers!! LOL!! It's important that you point the nozzle DOWN, perpendicular to the surface/dessert!! Then completely cover your dessert with it! :)

  10. I have never heard of such a thing. Do you have to replace the chargers? Do you buy them when you buy your shaker? I am definitely intrigued. Thanks so much for sharing on BeColorful's Motivated Monday

  11. Oh, my dear...I've been a wonderful journey on your blog...I stopped by and saw the auction treasures...which led me to the basement/taming the monster post, which led me to the punch bowl post which led me to the whipped cream making post.....just a joy. I missed some of these posts the first time (maybe while I was on my year away from blogs/blogging sabbatical?)

    Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and your truly kind comment. I appreciate it more than you know.

    Love/hugs/blessings,
    Lana
    PS I hope you get this comment even though it's on an older post...I really did take quite a journey on your blog.
