• Heavy Cream - this is the main ingredient of whipped cream. When heavy cream is aerated (air is incorporated) it becomes a light and fluffy consistency that can be a delightful addition to cakes and desserts. For best results, choose heavy cream with a high fat content, ideally around 36-40%. Higher fat content contributes to a richer and creamier texture.

• Sugar of Choice - in this recipe, you can use regular cane sugar, white sugar, brown sugar or other granulated sugar of choice. For a lower carb option, replace sugar with a sugar-free substitute such asgranulated monk fruit sweetenerorerythritol. If using stevia powder, be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions. You can also use 3 Tbsp ofpowdered sugarinstead of 2 Tbsp of sugar in this recipe.

• Freeze Dried Strawberries - We'll need to first prepare the strawberry powder by processing the freeze-dried strawberries in a mini blender until they turn into a fine powder. Alternatively, you can place the strawberries in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Use a sieve to sift out any large chunks as they can clog the piping tip and make it messy to pipe.

Equipment

• Hand mixer or stand mixer - these tools will help you whip the cream efficiently. A hand mixer is easier for smaller batches (for whipping 2 cups of heavy cream or less), while a stand mixer is great for bigger ones.

• Piping Bag - If you plan to decorate desserts or pastries with your whipped cream, a piping bag will help you do exactly that. It provides precision and control when dispensing the cream onto your treats, allowing for beautiful and decorative designs. I used a disposable piping bag like this one.

• Piping Tip of choice - I used this Ateco 849 Closed Star Piping Tip.
