Homemade Vanilla Dessert Cream


Ingredients You’ll Need:

For the Vanilla Dessert Cream:

  • 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste for extra depth)
  • Pinch of salt (to balance sweetness)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Whip the Cream

  1. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cold heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 2–3 minutes . Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn grainy or buttery.

Pro Tip: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes before whipping for best results.


Step 2: Add Sweetened Condensed Milk

  1. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk. Continue mixing until fully incorporated. The mixture will thicken slightly but remain light and airy.

Step 3: Fold in Vanilla and Salt

  1. Add the vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste) and a pinch of salt. Gently fold everything together with a spatula to ensure even distribution without deflating the cream.

Step 4: Chill and Set

  1. Transfer the vanilla dessert cream to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
