Can I Use Maple Syrup in Whipped Cream?
Oh, friend! If you are asking this question, then you have landed in the right place!

Easy Maple Whipped Cream
If you are intimidated by making your own homemade whipped cream recipe with maple syrup, let me set your mind at ease.
This homemade maple vanilla whipped cream is super-easy and foolproof.
In fact, all you only need three ingredients, one tool, and about 5 minutes of your time.
How to Get Stable Homemade Maple Whipped Cream
Another amazing thing about this maple whipped cream recipe is that it results in pretty stable whipped cream (as opposed to whipped cream that quickly disintegrates and gathers liquid).
(At least in my experience. Depending on the type of heavy cream you use, you may have different results.)
Every time I have whipped up a batch of maple vanilla whipped cream, I have let it sit in the refrigerator for a day or two, and it has held its own texture and shape.
What type of heavy cream do I use? I live in Asia, where fresh heavy cream is almost non-existent. So the only option available to me is UHT heavy cream.
If you are wanting to make a stable homemade whipped cream, then I recommend using a box of UHT whipped cream in this recipe.
About This Maple Whipped Cream Recipe
I created this easy maple whipped cream recipe right after experimenting with Easy Healthy Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Muffins.
The pairing of this maple-flavored whipped cream and the not-overly-sweet pumpkin spice in the muffins was just perfect.
Because of its amazing flavor and the fact that it uses no refined sugar, this recipe for maple syrup whipped cream has become my go-to for all whipped cream uses now.
And right after the stiff peaks form and the stand mixer begins whirring down, my kiddos crowd around to beg to lick the beaters and bowl–just as they would for classic whipped cream.
Maple Vanilla Whipped Cream
We add vanilla to this maple syrup whipped cream because, well, why not?
Vanilla is a traditional ingredient of whipped cream, and the flavor it lends to this maple whipped cream recipe is just phenomenal.
Maple and vanilla complement each other so well.
Ingredients in This Homemade Maple Vanilla Whipped Cream Recipe (There Are Only Three!)
To make this homemade maple vanilla whipped cream recipe without sugar, you will need these ingredients:
Maple Syrup— We love to keep a jug of Costco maple syrup on hand at all times. On pancakes and waffles, in granola bars, and in this maple vanilla whipped cream recipe–the uses for this natural sweetener are nearly endless!
Pure Vanilla Extract — Stick with the real stuff and don’t opt for the imitation vanilla flavorings.
Heavy Cream — Of course, to make whipped cream, you can’t forget the cream!
What You Will Need to Make Homemade Maple Whipped Cream

All you need is the three ingredients listed above, and all the equipment you really need is a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. (Oh, and a spatula comes in handy too!)
Recipe Variations and Substitutions
In my opinion, this recipe is perfect as-is. However, if you want to change it, try one of these ideas:
- Add 1/8 tsp. almond extract along with the vanilla extract.
- Add a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Top with homemade caramel sauce for even more autumn-inspired flavor.

Can You Make Homemade Maple Whipped Cream Ahead of Time?
It is best to make maple whipped cream right before serving it.
However, as I have noted from my personal experience, using UHT heavy cream may be a factor in creating a stable homemade whipped cream.
If you want to prepare this whipped cream awhile before consuming it, then place it in the refrigerator immediately after whipping it.
