A Little Tip: Whipped Topping

So it never fails I am making a recipe that calls for heavy whipping cream and the only container I can find is a quart size.  Well I have never used a WHOLE quart of heavy whipping cream in a recipe.  So instead of wasting all that yummy creamy goodness I thought to myself why not make my own whipped topping!

---

Beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks start to form.

Beat in almond and sugar until firm peaks form. DO NOT OVER MIX!

And your done!  Alternate pretty berries and whipped topping for a lovely parfait and then obliterate!  Happy Treats!

Ingredients:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

1. Make sure your bowl and whisk are cold! Put in refrigerator about thirty minutes.
2. Beat cream until firm peaks start to form.
3. Beat in almond and sugar until peaks form.
4. All done!

*I used almond extract in place of vanilla extract and loved it.  I also made this recipe with vanilla extract and it is also delicious. But I have more love for almond!
**DO NOT OVER MIX-your whipped topping will become very lumpy and like butter.
