How to Make Grenadine Whipped Cream

1. Gather Ingredients

Heavy cream, grenadine and icing sugar prepped on light background.
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons grenadine syrup
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

You can buy grenadine in grocery stores. Mass manufacturers often make grenadine from high fructose corn syrup with no actual fruit content. Real grenadine comes from pomegranate juice, although some manufacturers use blackcurrant and other fruit juices. Both versions can work in this recipe, but if you are looking for something with natural fruit flavor, check the ingredient list.

2. Add Ingredients to Bowl & Whip
