Notes

Do not let the honey become black or smoke heavily, as it can develop a bitter taste.
Make sure the burnt honey has cooled completely before adding it to the whipped cream.
For the fluffiest texture, chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping.
Store leftover Burnt Honey Whipped Cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Try this recipe on apple pie, pumpkin pie, brownies, waffles, pancakes, cheesecake, or hot chocolate.
For a lighter variation, skip caramelizing the honey and make a simple honey vanilla whipped cream recipe instead.
