Who doesn’t love a generous dollop of whipped cream on a slice of pie, or on top a bowl of ice cream?

While I still love the novelty of the canned variety, there’s something special about homemade whipped cream. The texture is still fluffy, but somehow denser, and the flavor is richer and creamier. And the best part? You can customize the flavorings to give your whipped cream a little extra zing.

Whipped cream and pumpkin pie- a match made in heaven

I have made (and loved) Ina Garten’s Rum Whipped Cream recipe in the past, but I wanted to try a little something different/lighter on the rum flavoring for pairing with my Pecan Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving.

The Pecan Pumpkin Pie is super custardy and flavorful, with a candied pecan topping and flakey butter crust. To compliment that flavor, I thought a whipped cream flavored with honey instead of sugar would be perfect. The honey flavor is still sweet without being overbearing, and combined with the rum and vanilla it is the perfect compliment to my pie.

This whipped cream would also be a great topping for a sundae with candied nuts, any fruit crumble or cobbler, or even classic apple pie. It begs to be paired with fruity/nutty flavor combos.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
