Whipped cream is the perfect addition to ice cream, cake, or hot chocolate. But what if you don’t have a mixer at home? No problem–with a simple trick, it works without one!

As part of the “School of Grill” by myHOMEBOOK, dessert expert Sandra revealed how to whip cream without a mixer. This trick is also useful when there’s no power outlet nearby. You don’t have to go without whipped cream! You can find out how the life hack works in the video.

Whipping Cream Without a Mixer–Here’s How

To whip cream without a mixer, you’ll need the following utensils and ingredients:

Cream
Mason jar with lid
Whipping cream stabilizer
Vanilla sugar, if desired

The process is quite simple: Put cream, whipping cream stabilizer, and vanilla sugar into the mason jar, screw on the lid, and shake vigorously. Some muscle effort is unfortunately necessary if you don’t have a mixer, but after a few minutes, the cream will have a firm consistency. You can then simply unscrew the jar and scoop out the stiff cream with a spoon. Tip: The trick works especially well if the mason jar was in the fridge beforehand. The cream is also easier to whip when it’s cold.

By the way, Sandra uses the cream for a special creation: strawberry cream slices from the grill. You can see the complete dessert recipe and two more in this video:

Whipping Cream with a Whisk

Of course, you can also whip cream with a whisk like in grandmother’s time. However, this method can be a bit more laborious than the mason jar technique. Here, too, it’s important that the cream and the container are as cold as possible–and a little whipping cream stabilizer helps. Metal and ceramic containers are best because they are cooler. You can also pour the cream into a tall container, such as a measuring cup, and rotate the whisk between your palms. But even here, you can’t avoid a bit of physical exertion.

Note: Cream should not be whipped for too long, or butter and whey can form. Once the cream is somewhat firm, you can stop whipping.
