How does this whipped cream dispenser recipe work?
Unlike whipping cream with a mixer or in a blender, this recipe works by using nitrous oxide chargers to inject gas into the canister of heavy cream. The gas then dissolves into the cream and creates light and fluffy whipped cream.
Once the lever is released to dispense the whipped cream, the pressure change creates the bubbly, foamy version of cream we know as whipped cream.
How to use a whipped cream dispenser…
Using your whipped cream dispenser is incredibly simple and quick. All you have to do is follow the instructions for your whipped cream dispenser recipe by mixing up the ingredients, pouring them into the canister, screwing the lid in place and charging the canister with the nitrous oxide charger.
Then you have perfectly whipped, delicious whipped cream.

How to Make This Homemade Whipped Cream Dispenser Recipe
Step 1 – In a measuring glass, whisk together heavy whipping cream (2 cups, 480 g), powdered sugar (1/4 cup, 30 g), vanilla (1 tsp) and a pinch of salt. Whisk until sugar is well incorporated and there are minimal lumps (it’s okay if there are a few).
Step 2 – Pour cream mixture into whipped cream dispenser and screw the lid in place. Make sure the gasket seal is also in place before screwing the lid on.
Step 3 – Put your NO2 charger into the charger holder with the pointed side facing out. Screw the charger holder onto the whipped cream dispenser. You will hear the canister fill with the gas.
Step 4 – Shake the whipped cream dispenser well for about 10 seconds. This helps the gas get evenly distributed inside of the canister.
