You can bake the perfect pumpkin pie, but it’s not complete with out one final finish:

Homemade whipped cream!

Honestly, this is the best part of getting to eat pumpkin pie.

How to Make It

I always thought that homemade whipped cream for pumpkin pie was hard to make… it looks so impressive & tastes so good. BUT I was pleasantly surprised when my mom handed me her secret recipe this year. It’s not hard at all.

In fact, it has only 2 ingredients and takes about 10 minutes to make. Easy peasy. The full recipe is listed at the bottom of this page.

And after tasting it, I can now confidently say that I will be using this whipped cream on everything. Heck, I would even eat it plain (it’s that good)!

The Secret to Making Homemade Whipped Cream for Pumpkin Pie

I’ve now made this recipe many, many times. And I’ve learned a few tricks along the way. Here’s the secrets to making the best whipped cream you’ve ever tasted & the full recipe is below!

  • Be sure to whip the mix until it’s stiff. It might feel like you’re whipping it forever, but keep going until you get stiff peaks.
  • Mixture not sweet enough? Add more powdered sugar. I believe the below recipe nails the classic homemade whipped cream flavor, but if you have a serious sweet tooth, feel free to add more sugar to satisfy your craving 🙂

Note: you can whip the below recipe by hand, but it’s recommended to use a mixer. Using a whisk and doing it by hand will take a bit longer!

    I made half a batch. Not hard to do by hand, at all. Takes about three minutes with a whisk.
