Cinnamon Whipped Cream Recipe – Easy Homemade Whipped Cream for Fall Desserts

I’ve been making homemade whipped cream since I was 10. I remember the first time my dad showed me how to make it and how easy it was to do. Quite honestly, minus those near and dear Midwest dessert salads (you know the ones I’m talking about, the ones with packets of pudding, cool whip, and canned fruit), I only use homemade whipped cream. The creaminess alone surpasses anything you’ve ever had, but you can also customize the flavor to whatever will go with your dessert!

This Homemade Cinnamon Whipped Cream is a new favorite. It’s a perfect addition to Pumpkin Pie, Apple Crumble or Baked Apples, even Apple Cider, or any other Fall or holiday desserts you’re serving up.

How to Make Cinnamon Whipped Cream

Combine ingredients: In your chilled mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and optional vanilla.

Whip it: Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (2–3 minutes). Stop before it turns grainy.

Taste & adjust: Add more sugar or cinnamon if desired.

Serve or store: Use immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Gently whisk before serving if it separates.

Tips for Perfect Whipped Cream Every Time

• Make-ahead friendly: Whipped cream can be prepped a few hours in advance.
• Don’t overbeat: Stop when soft peaks form—overwhipping turns it grainy.
• Extra flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for a seasonal twist.

Ways to Enjoy Cinnamon Whipped Cream

• Dollop on pumpkin pie, apple pie, or pecan pie
• Swirl into hot cocoa, coffee, or lattes
• Top brownies, cupcakes, or fruit crisps

Fun Fact: Whipped cream is one of those simple kitchen wonders that instantly elevates desserts. With a little cinnamon, it transforms everyday treats into cozy fall favorites.

Here are a few other notes to help with storage:

• Whipped cream will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days.
• If the mixture has separated, gently whisk it back together with a balloon whisk or fork.
• Homemade whipped cream loses some volume over time, so you may need to lightly whip it again to achieve the original texture.
