My daughter wants to eat whipped cream for her birthday. I could probably just give her a spoon and a bowl of it, but I thought it might be nice to, you know, serve it with something.
I was thinking maybe some kind of chocolate pie, but any suggestions welcome. We are having waffles for breakfast, so that’s one thing.
Berries: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries.
Berries, waffles, pancakes, any type of pastry, ice cream, pie, cake, crepes, jello, chocolate desserts, cobblers, crumbles & crisps, malts, ice cream sodas & milk shakes.
Give me time and I may come up with a few other suggestions.
Hot chocolate, coffee, banana splits & sundaes.
Jello?
There’s a salad called “broken glass salad” You cube up Jello, several colors if you want to go to the trouble, and fold the pieces into whipped cream.
We always put it on fruit salad – maybe just use a lot of whipped cream on small pieces of fruit, instead of using like a dressing?
Fill a meringue nest and top with strawberries.
Oh it’s for your daughter?
Never mind.
This was exactly my thought process as well.
Why ruin whipped cream with healthy ol’ fruit? Key lime pie or pumpkin pie!
Black Forest cake is traditionally frosted with whipped cream… If your daughter would be into a side of chocolate and cherries with her whipped cream.
How old is your daughter? Based on my own experience with little kids, mixing her precious whipped cream with *anything *might just make her angry.
Waffles work well as a base. Or pudding. Just a spoon is also a good bet as you already noted. Be prepared for the inevitable tummy ache if she eats too much at once. I’m assuming she is under ten?
I saw a recipe once in one of my mom’s magazines:
"Our Favorite Dessert:
1 biscuit
1 strawberry
1 blueberry
1 raspberry
43 cans Redi-Whip"
With accompanying photo, of course.
Pavlova!
I loved a dollop of whipped cream on gingerbread.
I believe, according to Abby_Emma_Sasha, that the correct term should be whip cream (starting about post 15)
That said, it’s great mixed into hot chocolate.
You can also just make a mound of it and drizzle it with chocolate syrup and a cherry (and bananas, whatever)…make a banana split or sundae but use the whipped cream instead of ice cream.
Add Nutella and the whipped cream, and you’ve got my kids’ favorite meal.
Waffles, fresh fruit, real whipped cream and real maple syrup sounds like the perfect birthday breakfast to me.
Second best, just hand me a can of whipped cream and let me dispense it straight into my mouth. Too old and sensible for that kind of silliness now, but I was mighty tempted last time I saw a can of reddi-whip next to a pumpkin pie…
