Honey is such a healthy alternative to cane sugar or corn syrup as a sweetener. We’re moving into our second year of beekeeping and hoping for our first batch of honey in the upcoming months, so lately I’ve been trying out recipes using honey instead of white sugar. Today I’m sharing a simple Honey Whipped Cream recipe and a parfait. Super easy, and super delectable served with cake, hot chocolate, or say, a parfait, like a citrus and almond parfait.
Sectioned citrus, toasted almonds layered with the honeyed whipped cream makes a perfectly pleasing parfait, and a perfect light ending to a meal. Or perhaps the perfect beginning to spring? Easily replace the whipped cream with yogurt, combined with honey, for a breakfast parfait.
For this parfait, again, I used sectioned orange, and almonds lightly toasted stove top with a bit of salt and butter.
Any fruit and nut combination should work nicely. Berries would be nice and colorful. Whatever you use to build your parfait, be sure to try the Honey Whipped Cream to top it off.
And if you’re in the market for a place for your honey, I bought a new honey pot/jar that you may enjoy as much as I am … A New Honey Pot. Enjoy!
Honey Whipped Cream Recipe
Honey Whipped Cream
Today I'm sharing a simple whipped cream sweetened with honey. Super easy, and super delectable served with cake, hot chocolate, or say, a parfait, like a citrus and almond parfait.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 6 tablespoons honey (I used orange blossom honey for this parfait.)
Instructions
- In a large bowl begin whipping the heavy cream on medium. Slowly stream in the honey. Once honey is mixed in, increase whipping speed until soft peaks form.
- Use right away or cover and refrigerate for up to a couple of hours before serving.
I love the citrus and honey together. It sounds delightful, Amy! Perfect timing, too. I just added to my honey “collection” yesterday, so I have new honey I need to try.
Amy, I love you! Your site and photography always makes me so happy!
I’ll FB and tweet and pin. Looks so yummy!
I love honey as a sweetener. And these look so refreshing. Love this!
I’ve recently fallen in love with honey too…so much more complex and delicious than normal sugar!
Have you ever tried this with strawberries? Just wondered if that would be good. Thinking about what other fruits you could try this with or even brownies.
Beautiful!! And I am so on board the honey train.
This is such a fabulous idea! Love this!
That is beautiful and simple! I need to find some flavored honeys to play with.
These are so bright and cheerful! I love this dessert and love even more that it has health benefits! I don’t use cane sugar at all in my baking any more, so it is nice to see someone who is transitioning into using honey to get the word out there about how great it is. I love that it’s a natural antibiotic, so I feel like I’m truly doing right by my body in using honey instead of refined sugar. Beautiful dessert idea!
I’ve been using a lot more hone lately, too. These are so pretty! Are you getting honey from your bees, yet?
This is gorgeous, simple, and right up my alley! I can’t wait to try it.
Brilliant! What a lovely sweet treat! And what a perfect dessert for Easter!
Yum, sounds very nice and I actually have orange blossom honey at home hehe.
Love everything about this!!!
What a delicious parfait! Love that you used honey for the sweetener.
So pretty and easy! Love the flavor of honey with fruit.
I Like honey as a sweetener. My favorite panna cotta recipe is sweetens with honey and I love the flavor. Excited to try this!
I love using honey like you have Amy; it might be better for us to eat but I just love what the flavor does to dressings, marinades and even my favorite bread!
How exciting to be looking forward to your own crop from your own bees; can’t wait to have you share that experience.
I like this recipe, it’s so refreshing. It looks so nice, it surely is healthy and I am sure it tastes great. . I will try this out, I am sure it would be great choice for nice Sunday dessert. 🙂 Have a nice weekend.
What a fun dessert. I’ve recently become obsessed with Mason jars so I’m really excited to make these – gives me an excuse to use them! 🙂
