Agave Whipped Cream Recipes

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Slice the pineapple into 1-inch rounds and place in a large bowl.
• Mix together the lime juice, coconut rum, agave syrup and salt in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the pineapple and gently toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
• When ready, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the grill with the olive oil and grill the pineapple for about 3 minutes per side; there should be noticeable grill marks, but it should still be firm in texture. Remove to a serving platter.
• For the whipped cream: Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the cream, agave syrup and the reserved lime zest. Whip until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve: Top the grilled pineapple with generous mounds of the whipped cream, scatter over mint leaves and drizzle with agave syrup.

AGAVE WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Place the cream and agave in a large (and if possible deep) bowl.
• Whip with a hand blender until stiff peaks form.
• Spread over cupcakes or cake.
• Serve.

WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Chill deep bowl and beaters of electric mixer in freezer for at least 20 minutes.
• (If freezer is too crowded to fit bowl, place beaters in bowl, fill bowl with ice water, and chill on counter. When bowl and beaters are well chilled, dump out water and dry thoroughly.) Add cream, sugar, and vanilla to chilled bowl.
• Beat on low speed until small bubbles form, about 30 seconds.
• Increase speed to medium and continue beating until beaters leave a trail, about 30 seconds.
• Increase speed to high and continue beating until cream is smooth, thick, and nearly doubled in volume, about 20 seconds for soft peaks or about 30 seconds for stiff peaks.
• If necessary, finish beating with whisk to adjust consistency.
• Serve immediately or spoon into fine sieve or strainer set over measuring cup and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

CLASSIC WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the cream on medium-low speed until it begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and add the sugar in a slow, steady stream, then continue to whip to medium peaks. Add the vanilla, if using, and mix to combine.
• Do Ahead: Plain whipped cream is best made just before it is used, but you can intentionally under-whip the cream (to just under soft peaks), then finish by whipping by hand when you're ready to serve. It will hold this way for up to 4 hours. The mascarpone variation can be made up to 6 hours ahead and held in the refrigerator. Whip a few times gently to refresh before using.
• Variation
• Mascarpone Whipped Cream: Reduce the cream by half. For a half batch, use 75 g / ⅓ cup mascarpone; for a full batch, 113 g / ½ cup; and for a mile-high batch, 170 g / ¾ cup. Place the mascarpone and sugar in the mixer bowl and whip on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl well, then reduce the speed to medium-low and add the cream in a slow, steady stream. Raise the speed to medium-high and whip until the mixture is smooth and reaches medium peaks. Add the vanilla, if using, and mix to combine.

PERFECT WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat the cream until it is slightly thickened.
• Blend in sugar and vanilla.

AGAVE NECTAR WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:
