A little dollop will do 'ya...NOT hardly!

Whipped cream. Decadent taste. Smooth texture. What a blessed topping for cakes (no need for dry cake!), pies (scrumptious pumpkin!), fruit (luscious fresh strawberries), Jello (any flavor!), congealed salads (nut & fruit), pancakes (oh, yeah, blueberry!), waffles (crazy maple!), french toast (berries & whipped cream), and of course, that dollop on the top of a cup of steaming hot chocolate or latte! Got your craving started? Get ready for today's celebration. Bring it on and you don't have to stop with that 'little' dollop!

January 5 is...

Things You May NOT Know About Whipped Cream
  • It's origin is old having been around since the 16th century!
  • It was once called "milk snow".
  • Early recipes called for whipping the cream with a willow or rush branch.
  • For the cream to whip, temp must be under 50 degrees, else you have butter!
  • Tallest dollop of whipped cream: 7 1/4 ins topping off a mug of cocoa

Slices of Pumpkin Pie & Key Lime Pie, Ice Cream Sundaes & Banana Splits, Mugs of Hot Cocoa & Egg Nog Lattes are absolutely naked without the luxurious dollop...or two or three...of fluffy whipped cream! 

Whether one likes whipped cream squirted straight out those nifty aerosol cans, or prefers the more traditional version of whisking cream by hand, whipped cream is truly one of those little delights in life that deserves a bit of praise and recognition. Whipped Cream Day provides the perfect excuse to indulge in a sweet treat with a generous portion of creaminess on top.

Read The Skinny on Fats to learn why you shouldn’t be afraid of full fat real dairy like the cream. Our body is dependent on healthy fats in our diet in order to function properly.

Happy Whipped Cream Day!
