It's never a bad idea to serve pie with plenty of whipped cream. Think your pie is sweet enough? You can leave the sugar out-ain't nothin' wrong with plain ol' whipped cream. For a luxurious twist, try the mascarpone variation below.

Yield 1, 3, or 4 cups, depending on the batch you choose

Number Of Ingredients 12

Half batch (for covering only a portion of a 9-inch / 23-cm pie or for a very thin top layer):
118 g / ½ cup heavy cream
25 g / 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 g / ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Full batch (for generously covering the whole pie):
235 g / 1 cup heavy cream
50 g / ¼ cup granulated sugar
5 g / 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Mile-high batch (for when you're feeling all fancy-pants):
353 g / 1½ cups heavy cream
66 g / ⅓ cup granulated sugar
7 g / 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the cream on medium-low speed until it begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and add the sugar in a slow, steady stream, then continue to whip to medium peaks. Add the vanilla, if using, and mix to combine.
  • Do Ahead: Plain whipped cream is best made just before it is used, but you can intentionally under-whip the cream (to just under soft peaks), then finish by whipping by hand when you're ready to serve. It will hold this way for up to 4 hours. The mascarpone variation can be made up to 6 hours ahead and held in the refrigerator. Whip a few times gently to refresh before using.
  • Variation
  • Mascarpone Whipped Cream: Reduce the cream by half. For a half batch, use 75 g / ⅓ cup mascarpone; for a full batch, 113 g / ½ cup; and for a mile-high batch, 170 g / ¾ cup. Place the mascarpone and sugar in the mixer bowl and whip on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl well, then reduce the speed to medium-low and add the cream in a slow, steady stream. Raise the speed to medium-high and whip until the mixture is smooth and reaches medium peaks. Add the vanilla, if using, and mix to combine.

Tips:

  • Use heavy cream: This will give you the best results, as it has a high fat content that will help the cream whip up light and fluffy.
  • Chill the cream and beaters: This will also help the cream whip up more easily.
  • Whip the cream gradually: Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the cream thickens.
  • Don't overbeat the cream: Once it reaches stiff peaks, stop beating it or it will become grainy.
  • Flavor the cream: You can add sugar, vanilla extract, or other flavorings to taste.
  • Use whipped cream immediately: It will start to lose its volume after a few hours.
