Earl Grey Whipped Cream is an easy 3 ingredients tea infused cream recipe that adds the delicate Earl Grey flavor to desserts and beverages.
Servings: 32 tablespoon
Calories: 30kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy or whipping cream
- 2 teaspoon Earl Grey loose tea or 2 Earl Grey tea bags
- 3 tablespoon icing sugar
Instructions
- In a clean jar or container, add whipping/heavy cream and Earl Grey tea. Stir, close the lid and store in the fridge from 12 to 24h. The longer you cold brew, the stronger the flavor.
- Remove Earl Grey bags, or, if using loose tea, pour the cream through a fine mesh strainer in another container, or directly into the bowl you’ll use for whipping.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the infused whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form (about 2 minutes). Add the sugar, and beat for 1-2 minutes more, until it reaches medium peaks. Careful not to overbeat or it will turn to butter.
- Store in an airtight container inside the fridge if not using immediately. It keeps for about a week if stored correctly.

Notes
Earl Grey Vanilla whipped cream: use an Earl Grey Vanilla tea, or add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract when adding the icing sugar.
Heavy/Whipping Cream: use one that contains between 33% to 36% milk fat. Less than 30% and it will be hard to whip it.
Chill the bowl you’ll use for whipping. If your kitchen runs hot, or you’re doing this recipe during warm months, chilling the bowl will help this recipe to whip properly. Place it for an hour inside the fridge.
Make sure the infused whipping cream is cold before whipping it. Cold whipping cream whips faster.
Check the expiration date of the whipping cream before starting the recipe. Old whipping cream will be harder to whip, or won’t whip at all.
Do not use thawed frozen cream for this recipe. Although it’s possible to whip cream after frozen and thawed, I’ve failed every time I’ve tried. When whipping, choose fresh cream.
If using to decorate cakes, pastries or any baked good, wait for them to be fully cooled before topping or filling with the whipped cream. If hot or warm, the whipped cream will melt.
