Make Whip Cream in a Jar

Making whip cream in a jar is just as much fun as making butter in a jar.  Whip cream happens a little bit faster than the butter and of course it's a BIG hit with kids.  So next time you're serving dessert to a bunch of kids, have them make their own whipped cream.



















All you need is willing participants, baby food or mason jars, some heavy whipping cream and sugar.  Oh, and some vigorous shaking for 2-3 minutes.

















I used about 2 oz of heaving whipping cream in each jar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.

Shake, shake, shake and then shake some more for about 3 minutes.

















And you end up with some heavenly sweet and creamy whipped cream.



















To top some Nilla Wafers or brownies or pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, etc.

















If you're a super vigorous shaker like Bryce, the whipped cream will come out a bit thicker.  Both  taste great, it's all about the texture you prefer!

That is a great idea even when I need just a few spoons of whip cream for a quick dessert. ellie

I make whipped cream often with my mixer. Never thought to do this with the kids. I love the idea of getting them to make it themselves (and it will occupy them a few minutes...). I use whipped cream for the girls teaparties, so this will be on the menu next time.
Thank you!

What a great idea! I've used old hand beaters, that's a work out too! This is really fun for kids!
