Prepare for Whip Cream this Thanksgiving

In case you forgot, Turkey Day is just around the corner.  After the Turkey, mashed potatoes and other fixings comes my favorite dessert.  I have to say I just love Pumpkin Pie with fresh Whipped Cream.  Nothing fancy, but it has to be fresh whip cream to really finish it off just right.

I can't tell you the number of times I've gone to make the whipped cream with my reliable old whip cream dispenser that comes out twice a year... only to realize I've lost the charger holder or can't find a silly spray nozzle!  Then I'm off to the store for the crappy stuff from the can.

Don't wait, there's still time to save your Thanksgiving dessert.  Make sure you have your dispenser, whipped cream chargers and spare parts if needed.  I keep the recipe straight forward and simple.  There's plenty of other stuff to deal with.  So just get heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and a couple dashes of vanilla extract and you're good to go in my opinion.  Have a happy and delicious Thanksgiving!
