Notes
Choose your peppermint flavor strength:
This peppermint whipped cream is so easy to adjust for the amount of peppermint flavor you want. The recipe below uses ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract. I've found this to be the optimal amount for nice peppermint flavor without being too overpowering. However, you can adjust as needed.- Use ½ teaspoon for a nice light peppermint flavor
- Use ¾ teaspoon for a well-balanced peppermint flavor
- Use 1 teaspoon for a strong peppermint flavor
