How To Freeze Leftover Whipped Cream

1. Stage

Line a baking sheet with parchment (or a Silpat) and spoon the whipped cream on top in small mounds: If you're feeling fancy, you can pipe the whipped cream in pretty twists using a piping bag. Aim for single-serving portions.

2. Stage

Freeze: Put in the freezer overnight, until the whipped cream is frozen solid.

3. Stage

Peel the whipped cream off the parchment and store: Transfer the frozen whipped cream mounds to a freezer bag or other freezer container. Don't worry if the edges crumble a little as you handle the mounds; this is normal. The whipped cream is best used within a month, but will keep for up to three months. (You may notice that it picks up off-flavors from the freezer over time.)

4. Stage

To use the whipped cream: The frozen whipped cream can be placed directly on top of hot cocoa or coffee and served. You can also place the mounds on top of a dessert: place on top of the dessert and allow to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serve.
