Funfetti Whipped Cream
My favorite mascarpone whipped cream is even more heavenly with a kick of cake batter and sprinkles. With only 3 ingredients and 5 minutes you'll have a big bowl of funfetti whipped cream ready to go!
Everyone knows how much I love my mascarpone whipped cream. I love everything about it and it takes way more willpower than I care to admit not to just sit down with the bowl and eat it by the ladle spoonful.
#bakerproblems, amirite?
Annnnnnd I just made my own problems worse by adding cake mix and sprinkles to the… well, mix. I fall fast and hard for anything cake batter. Cake batter ice cream, cake batter fudge, cake batter… cake batter!
And now cake batter whipped cream.

5 tips for making funfetti whipped cream
- My favorite mascarpone cheese to use is the classicย BelGioiosoย in the white and green container, and I can usually find it in any grocery store. Make sure itโs fresh out of the fridge and cold โ it makes a difference!
- The mixing bowl needs to be as cold as you can get it. Stick it in the freezer for an hour before you start prepping the recipe, it helps!
- I make my own vanilla extract using vanilla beans and vodka, but that requires a lot of planning ahead! So if youโre tight on time, I highly recommend thisย Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extractย (aff link). Itโs on the pricier side, but I truly believe itโs worth it. If you need to keep things budget-friendly,ย Rodelle pure vanilla extractย (aff link)ย is always a solid choice.
- Also, youย definitelyย want aย KitchenAidย for this recipe, because your arm is going to get tired if you use aย hand mixerย (aff link).
- And if youโre fancy schmancy and you have one of those stainless steel whipped cream dispensers, load it up! Iโm not fancy, so mine just goes into a sealed plastic container.
Heat treating the flour in the cake mix
If youโre concerned about the potential for bacteria in raw flour, you can quickly heat treat it by spreading it out onto a baking sheet and toasting it at 350ยฐF for 5 minutes. Let it cool, then follow the instructions above.
Just note that the sprinkles in the funfetti cake mix may discolor or become a bit melty and spread. But don't despair – that's just more reason to add even more sprinkles :)
Great! Now what should I do with it?
Top everything with it! Top nothing with it (and just eat it out of the bowl)! Throw it into a pre-made pie crust and call it day!
But in all seriousness, you can put this on just about anything. Here are some ideas:
- Salted Nutella Fudge Brownie Gelato
- The Best Chocolate Mug Cake
- Paleo Double Chocolate Brownies (itโll kinda negate the paleo, but YOLO)
- Loaded Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
- Fudgy Chocolate Banana Brownies
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
- Gingerbread Ice Cream
- No Churn Homemade Americone Dream Ice Cream
- Oreo Ice Cream
- Chocolate Avocado Pudding
There's no limit but your imagination… and stomach capacity ;)
There's really not much else I can say about this other than: Make this. Make this NOW.
