January 5 is National Whipped Cream Day (Photos)

No matter what you eat on January 5, make sure you put a dollop of whip cream on it. From your breakfast pancakes or waffles to your dinner dessert, you can top them off with whipped cream. Put whip cream in your beverages as well. Why?

January 5 is National Whipped Cream Day.

Whatever you eat can taste even better with a small tower of whipped cream right on top. Don't limit whipped cream to just desserts even though it is the classic garnish for practically any dessert.

Whipped cream may be associated with dessert, but there's nothing wrong with putting whipped cream on top of many other foods.

You can buy whipped cream, or you can make your own. Whipped cream is cream that has been beaten by a mixer, whisk, or fork until it is light and fluffy. Whipped cream is often sweetened and sometimes flavored with vanilla.

National Whipped Cream Day is on the birthday of Reddi-wip founder and creator Aaron “Bunny” Lapin. He didn't invent whipped cream, but he was the first person to put whipped cream in an aerosol spray that made him a multi-millionaire in the process.
