Why You’ll Love This Banana Whipped Cream

  • Soft, fluffy texture that feels rich without being heavy

  • Naturally sweet from fresh banana—no refined sugar needed

  • Quick to whip up in about 5 minutes

  • Perfect for pancakes, crepes, waffles, or French toast

  • Customisable with spices, zest, or a drizzle of honey

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 large ripe banana

  • 200 ml cold thickened cream or double cream

  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

  • Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

How to Make It

Step 1 – Mash the Banana

  • Peel the banana and place it in a mixing bowl.

  • Use a fork to mash until mostly smooth. A few little lumps are fine for texture.

Step 2 – Whip the Cream

  • In a separate chilled bowl, pour in the cold cream.

  • Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks start to form. This usually takes 2–3 minutes.

Step 3 – Combine and Flavour

  • Gently fold the mashed banana into the whipped cream.

  • Add the vanilla extract and any sweetener or spices you like.

  • Whip again briefly to blend everything evenly.

Step 4 – Adjust the Texture

  • If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend the banana completely before folding it into the cream.

  • Chill for 10–15 minutes before serving if you’d like a firmer texture.

Serving Ideas

Banana Whipped Cream pairs beautifully with all kinds of breakfast and brunch favourites. Try it:

  • Piled high on fluffy pancakes with sliced banana and toasted nuts

  • Swirled onto warm waffles with a drizzle of maple syrup

  • Spread over crepes with fresh berries

  • Dolloped on French toast dusted with cinnamon sugar

  • Layered into parfaits with granola and extra banana

Flavour Variations

Make it your own with these easy twists:

  • Add a spoonful of peanut butter for a richer, nutty flavour

  • Stir in grated orange zest for brightness

  • Mix in a splash of dark rum or bourbon for an adults-only brunch treat

  • Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top before serving

Storage Tips

  • Store any leftover Banana Whipped Cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

  • If it firms up too much, whisk gently before serving to restore the fluffiness.

  • Always serve it chilled for the best texture and flavour.

Miami Magic Tip

For the smoothest, silkiest topping, use very ripe bananas with plenty of natural sweetness and blend them until creamy before adding to the whipped cream.
