Frozen Whipped Cream Hearts

Did you know you can freeze whipped cream? (You can!) Of course you can’t thaw it, but frozen whipped cream makes a fabulous drink topper!
I’ve been baking quite a bit lately and have been using heavy whipping cream for my toppings and frostings.
I never know how much I need and always end up making too much. If you’re the same way, there’s no need to waste the extra whipped cream, just freeze it for later use.
I love real whipped cream in my coffee and the kids love it in their hot chocolate.
If you want to make shapes, spread the whipped cream about 1/2 inch thick onto wax paper and freeze for several hours.
Once frozen you can use a cookie or fondant cutter to cut out your shape.
After cutting the shape, if you’re not using the frozen whipped cream immediately, be sure to place it on a fresh piece of wax paper before returning to the freezer. (Otherwise you might not be able to get it off the paper without breaking.)
You can also freeze your leftovers by the “dollop”.
Once they have frozen all the way, just place the frozen dollops in a freezer safe bag and use as needed. (I also tried this with cool whip, but it didn’t freeze as well.)
Wouldn’t your little one love a hot chocolate with a whipped cream heart waiting for them after school today?
Happy Valentine’s day!

Love this! So much better than marshmallows.
So cute! I rarely use all of the whipped cream I make (and if I do, I regret it because it's by the spoonful!) and this is such a smart way to use it up!
This is such an awesome idea!!
I love this idea! #sitsblogging

Awesome, I had no idea. I will be trying this, the real stuff is so good in coffee.
I love, love this idea! We have had endless amounts of hot chocolate this winter season and this is a wonderful thing to add. Stopping by from someday crafts link party and I pinned this 🙂

This is such a great idea! Especially great for if you have guests and have made dessert; an extra wow factor with coffe
I love this idea! I love putting fresh whipped cream in my hot chocolate for the extra creaminess and I love that this will also help cool it down faster.
Adorable!!! Can't wait to try this! Pinning
Very cute and easy to make. Really like and have pinned to my Valentine's Board.

Whata really cute idea! I bet this would just make my daughters day to see this in her hot cocoa!
What kind of whip cream do you use to freeze? The kind in a milk carton?
Yes, this is done with heavy whipped cream from the carton. (I'll update the post.)
