of the simplest ways to use up extra whipped cream is to add a dollop or two to your morning breakfast foods. Whipped cream can make typical breakfasts like oatmeal, pancakes and waffles feel more like a special weekend treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pancakes_and_Waffles\"><\/span>Pancakes and Waffles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s better than a tall stack of fluffy pancakes or golden waffles? Pancakes and waffles topped with a cloud of sweet whipped cream, of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Folding a spoonful of whipped cream into pancake or waffle batter is also a great way to use it up while adding moisture and richness. The whipped cream will melt into the batter as it cooks, giving you tender and fluffier results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> For over-the-top decadence, make <em>whipped cream pancakes<\/em> by folding 1\u20444 to 1\u20442 cup whipped cream per 1 cup of pancake mix into the batter before cooking.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oatmeal\"><\/span>Oatmeal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oatmeal might not seem like the most logical place to use up whipped cream, but it works beautifully. Stir a dollop of whipped cream into a bowl of cooked oatmeal to add sweetness and moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also swirl it decoratively on top along with fresh fruit, nuts, maple syrup or other favorite oatmeal toppings. The cream will add a pleasant contrast to the hearty grains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"French_Toast_and_Baked_Oatmeal\"><\/span>French Toast and Baked Oatmeal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Baked French toast casseroles and baked oatmeal are two morning treats that pair fabulously with whipped cream. Simply fold some whipped cream into the egg mixture before baking for a creamier interior texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then pass more whipped cream at the table for topping individual portions. The sweet cream balances the eggy custard richness perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Flavor your whipped cream with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg or extracts like vanilla, almond and maple before using it in baked French toast or oatmeal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coffee_Drinks\"><\/span>Coffee Drinks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using leftover whipped cream to top your morning brew is an easy way to start the day feeling like you\u2019re getting a special treat. The whipped cream will add body, silky texture and subtle sweetness to coffee, espresso and tea drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For festive coffee drinks, you can even use a pastry bag to pipe the whipped cream into fun shapes on top. Add chocolate shavings, crushed candy canes or cinnamon for extra flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fold_into_Batter_and_Doughs\"><\/span>Fold into Batter and Doughs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whipped cream can do more than just top baked goods\u2014it can also get folded into batters and doughs to keep them moist and tender. Using leftover whipped cream in baking is a great way to prevent waste while benefiting your recipes at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cakes\"><\/span>Cakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a bit of airy whipped cream to cake batters is an easy way to create bakery-style cakes with fine, moist crumb. Fold it into the batter just until combined\u2014too much mixing deflates the cream, while under-mixing leaves pockets of cream that collapse while baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> When adapting recipes, replace 1\u20444 to 1\u20442 cup of the milk or buttermilk with whipped cream per 1 cup of flour.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick_Breads\"><\/span>Quick Breads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Quick breads like banana bread, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread and coffee cakes all benefit from a dose of whipped cream in the batter. The whipped cream helps keep these breads super moist and velvety soft for days after baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Muffins\"><\/span>Muffins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whipped cream makes muffins like blueberry, bran, corn and lemon poppyseed rise higher with an extra tender crumb. Fold 1\u20444 cup whipped cream per 1 cup of flour into the batter gently to maintain that airy lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scones\"><\/span>Scones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Buttery, flaky scones are even richer and more melt-in-your-mouth delicious when you use heavy cream whipped with sugar in place of milk or buttermilk. The whipped cream creates steam to make the scones lighter too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sweet_Rolls\"><\/span>Sweet Rolls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweet yeast rolls get amazingly soft and fluffy when you incorporate whipped cream into the dough.

Press plastic wrap directly on the surface before sealing to prevent freezer burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For small portions, spoon individual mounds of whipped cream onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to freezer bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Label_and_Date\"><\/span>Label and Date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always label <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/cool-whip-vs-whipping-cream\/\">frozen whipped cream<\/a> with the contents and date so you use the oldest portions first when thawing. Eat within 2 to 3 months for best quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thawing_and_Using\"><\/span>Thawing and Using<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thaw whipped cream in the refrigerator overnight. Give it a good stir once thawed - a little separation is normal. Previously frozen cream may lose some volume, so rewhip briefly if needed to restore its light texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Fold thawed whipped cream into batters, doughs, soups or sauces to disguise any texture issues rather than topping dishes or using as-is after long freezing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rewhip_Leftover_Whipped_Cream\"><\/span>Rewhip Leftover Whipped Cream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your leftover whipped cream has only been refrigerated for a day or two and still looks and tastes fresh, you can easily rewhip it into freshly made cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To rewhip, place the leftover whipped cream in a chilled bowl. Add an equal amount of chilled <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/what-is-whipping-cream\/\">heavy whipping cream<\/a> and 1-2 tablespoons sugar. Using a cold whisk or electric mixer beat just until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rewhipped cream will increase your yield and give you fresh cream with ideal whipped texture.
