Strawberry Whipped Cream Recipe
This Strawberry Whipped Cream recipe can made with either fresh strawberries or freeze dried strawberries! Both versions have amazing strawberry flavor and make a fluffy strawberry whipped cream you can pipe onto cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes and even pancakes!
Homemade Strawberry Whipped Cream
Strawberry whipped cream is so versatile and one of the most delicious flavors. It makes a great alternative to vanilla buttercream or cream cheese frosting and is even more fun than your average whipped cream.
How to Make Strawberry Whipped Cream
- To make strawberry whipped cream, we’re going to combine cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and strawberry flavoring of some sort. You want to try to use heavy whipping cream, if you can, instead of regular whipping cream or heavy cream. The heavy whipping cream has a higher fat content, so it’ll whip better and stay more stable for longer.
- For the powdered sugar, you also want to be sure to use the amount specified in the recipe. I tend to use about a 2:1 ratio of cream/liquid to powdered sugar. It helps add stability to the whipped cream and make it so that it spreads and pipes beautifully.
How to Make Homemade Strawberry Whipped Cream with Fresh Strawberries
- To add strawberry flavor to the whipped cream, there are two options. The first is using fresh, real strawberries. If you’re a baking and fruit purist, this is the way to go.
- Add your strawberries to a food processor to puree them, then strain the puree to remove the seeds. The puree is then cooked over medium heat until it thickens and reduces a good bit. This not only enhances and strengthens the strawberry flavor, it also thickens the puree.
- The fresh strawberry whipped cream is nice uniform pink color with a lovely strawberry flavor. I used it on this Red Wine Poke Cake and is was delightful!
How to Make Homemade Strawberry Whipped Cream with Freeze Dried Strawberries
- If you want to make whipped cream with freeze dried strawberries, the process is a little quicker. The only trick is to be able to find freeze dried strawberries. I often find them at my grocery store, but Target also usually has them.
- Add the freeze dried strawberries to a food processor and grind them into a powder. I use about one cup of freeze dried berries and end up with about a quarter cup of powder.
- The powder is added to the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar and all whipped on high speed until you get a nice, fluffy strawberry whipped cream! Unlike the fresh strawberry whipped cream, this version shows little specks of strawberries throughout.
- The flavor is VERY similar to the whipped cream made with fresh strawberries, but the look is a little different. This one is also a bit more stiff than the fresh one, simply because you are adding a powder, rather than a thickened liquid.
How to Stabilize Your Homemade Strawberry Whipped Cream
Depending on the method of preparation and the look you prefer, you can choose the stabilized strawberry whipped cream you prefer. Both have very similar flavors, with slightly different looks. The fresh strawberries take a little longer to prepare, but otherwise all is fairly similar and simple to put together.
Keep in mind though that the fresh strawberry whipped cream will only be as good as the fresh berries you have, so if they aren’t really in season you might consider the freeze dried ones. For a darker shade of pink, you could even add a little extra red gel icing color (which is thick and won’t thin out the whipped cream).
This strawberry whipped cream is the fluffy, stable whipped cream you’ve been looking for! I hope you enjoy it!

Health Benefits Of Strawberries
1. May Protect The Heart
The abundance of antioxidants and polyphenols in strawberries makes them the ideal food to protect your heart from ailments. Strawberries contain anthocyanins (the antioxidants responsible for their red hue), which protect the lining of the circulatory system, thereby shielding the arteries from plaque build-up and regulating the blood pressure .
According to Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York City, women who consumed three or more servings of berries (especially strawberries) every week had reduced their risk of heart attack by a third.
2. May Regulate Blood Sugar Levels
Strawberries also contain ellagic acid, and this, along with the antioxidants, helps in slowing down the digestion of starchy foods. This controls the rise in blood sugar levels posts a starchy meal. It also helps individuals with type-2 diabetes keep their blood sugar levels in check .
Strawberries also have a low glycemic index (40), which means they are unlikely to cause sharp sugar spikes when eaten by diabetics.
The fiber in strawberries can also help regulate blood sugar levels.
3. May Help Fight Cancer
Strawberries are exceptionally good sources of vitamin C and fiber, both of which have been found to protect from cancers of the esophagus and colon. The anticancer properties of strawberries, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research, can be attributed to the presence of ellagic acid – a phytochemical that can prevent cancers of the skin, lung, bladder, and breast.
Ellagic acid acts as an anticancer agent in several ways – it acts as an antioxidant, slows down the production of cancer cells, and helps the body destroy certain types of carcinogens.
4. May Boost Immunity
Strawberries are excellent sources of vitamin C. In fact, a single serving of strawberries has more vitamin C than an orange. Vitamin C has been found to trigger immune-boosting antibodies, which ultimately enhance your body’s ability to fight infections .
In one study conducted in Switzerland, it had been found that supplementation of vitamin C had improved the various components of the immune system .
According to research conducted by South African doctors, supplementation of vitamin C increased the concentration of immunoglobulin, which is an antibody and a key component of the immune system. Strawberries are also known to fight allergies and asthma.
5. May Regulate Blood Pressure
As already mentioned, strawberries contain anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that relax the lining of the blood vessels and open them up, thereby lowering blood pressure.
Strawberries are also rich in potassium, a nutrient that helps control blood pressure
