Ina Garten Can't Stand One Store-Bought Dessert Staple
BY Josie Dlugosz
Store-bought may sometimes be fine for Ina Garten, but whipped cream is an ingredient on her "homemade-only" list, and she made that clear in an Instagram Reel by Williams Sonoma.
"Whipped cream is so easy to make … don't buy it store-bought in a can. I have no idea what's in there," she said. Truly, canned whipped creams do contain a bunch of nonsense.
That includes maltodextrin, cellulose gum, and dextrose. Store-bought whipped creams use stabilizers and emulsifiers for that airy swirl and mouthfeel, but homemade ones don’t.
As Garten put it in the Instagram reel, “It's just heavy cream. You whip it until it's a little, kind of soft peaks, add some sugar, vanilla ... It's so much better.”
