Mermaid Whipped Cream
Never in a million years did I ever think I would make something with the title mermaid, let alone mermaid whipped cream. I have boys, who are now teenagers.
There are no little girls in the family, nor any neighbors who have little girls. Many of my good friends are Moms of boys so for me to make something “mermaid” is a bit of a stretch.
But I recently included mermaid whipped cream in a post for a blogger event, individual mermaid ice cream treats, and it got such an overwhelming response I thought I’d give it a post of its own.
First make the whipped cream. The trick to whipping cream is to use a chilled bowl and chilled beater. Make sure your heavy cream is cold too. It will whip better. Start the mixer slowly and gradually increase the speed. Don’t over whip or you will wind up with butter. Use confectioners’ sugar to sweeten the cream. Granulated sugar will make it grainy. Add the gel food coloring as you begin to whip the cream.
You’re probably wondering how you make that awesome swirl effect. It’s a lot easier than you think. You will need 3 disposable piping bags. Put each whipped cream color in its own bag, clip the end, then put both into another bag fitted with the 1M star tip. You are now ready to pipe two-tone whipped cream.
There are so many ways you can use this mermaid whipped cream. You can use them the way I did in the ice cream treats and top ice cream, top an ice cream cake, use it on milkshakes or hot chocolate. Use pink and purple with sprinkles and you have unicorn swirled whipped cream.
A fun way to elevate cupcakes or ice cream cake. As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.

This is amazing ❤️ You have explained is so well! Both my boys are going to love this… can’t wait to give it a try this weekend.
How adorable. My grand kids are going to love using this on cupcakes or cookies.
I know some little girls AND boys, who would love this on their ice cream sundaes! So pretty!
Whipped cream is often used in European cakes and not nearly so much here in the USA. But I love how delicious and rich it tastes while being lighter than other rich tasting cakes. Nice recipe for decorating cakes.
This is such a cute idea and so easy! My girls loved it on top of their morning waffles. It was a fun surprise for them. Thanks for the inspiration!
