Beer Whipped Cream is delish

If you haven’t yet tried Guinness Whipped Cream, this is the perfect time of year.

It seems like a requirement of St. Patrick’s Day is to add beer to everything. Luckily, these recipes also work great for adult birthday parties and game day entertaining.

Flavored whipped creams are my favorite. They are crazy simple and quick to make and are a fun way to customize whatever dessert you’re trying to jazz up.

Making your own whipped cream is super simple and a fun way to sprinkle in flavor magic. Even just adding sea salt to your regular whipped cream recipe adds the perfect sweet and salty touch to regular brownies.

What does Guinness taste like

Guinness is a dark stout beer that has a malty taste. It has notes of chocolate and coffee which make it perfect for use in baked goods and flavored whipped cream.

This flavored whipped cream also has vanilla bean to give it even more sweetness and another layer of flavor.

How to Make Guinness Stout Flavored Whipped Cream

Maybe you don’t think beer-flavored whipped cream would taste good. But trust me. Give it a try! 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 3 TBSP Guinness Stout Beer
• 1/2 vanilla bean, scraped (you could use 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract instead)

Fresh vanilla bean might be one of my favorite things ever. It’s super easy to use in this recipe and has the BEST flavor.

Using the vanilla bean means you can see the actual flecks of vanilla throughout the whipped cream. It looks so fancy.

I promise you, if you add vanilla bean to your homemade whipped cream, no one is going to step to you about using a boxed brownie mix as I did with the Guinness Brownies.  

While I prefer to use Guinness you can substitute any dark beer, preferably stout. Those have the most flavor in my opinion.

Powdered sugar is a great way to sweeten homemade whipped cream. It dissolves super easily into the cream and keeps everything really smooth.

Instructions:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer (I freaking love my KitchenAid) add cold whipping cream, powdered sugar, beer and vanilla bean.
2. Mix on high until soft peaks form (approximately 5 minutes, give or take).

It’s better to under mix than overmix whipped cream. Too long, and it turns into a broken, clumpy mess.

Chill the beer whipped cream until ready to use. 

To get the best results, use really cold whipping cream. You can also freeze your metal mixing bowl and beaters.

I probably wouldn’t give my kids this alcohol flavored whipped cream. The amount of beer they would get from a bite or even several spoonfuls of the stout whipped cream would probably be minuscule. But still. 

You’re going to love the unique flavor of this beer whipped cream! It would be super yummy served on top of my warm Chocolate Caramel Dump Cake too.

Homemade flavored whipped cream, like this stout version and Whipped Cream Flavored with Fun Dip, is a great way to add another layer of flavor to your desserts!
