Notes
Use powdered sugar for a smoother texture or granulated sugar for a slightly more rustic whipped cream. Crush candy canes in a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin for easy cleanup. Store extra whipped cream refrigerated in a covered container—best used within 24 hours for optimal texture. For extra festive presentation, reserve a few candy cane pieces to sprinkle on top just before serving.
