Whipped cream is a great way to top your favorite dessert, but it can also act as a conduit for an extra burst of flavor.

Homemade whipped cream is as easy as aerating heavy cream with a dash of vanilla extract and sugar (to taste, though we often use an approximate cream-to-sugar ratio of 8:1). The bowl will be filled with a light, airy, decadent topping in no time, acting as a breezy counterpoint to the dessert on which it sits.

Your whipped cream can be equally flavor-packed. Simply change up the extract to suit the dish. eHow suggests amping up a float with root-beer flavored whipped cream, while the Nibble offers a kaleidoscope of options, from bourbon to salty caramel.

But that's only the beginning: Lemon zest can lighten up a batch of whipped cream, coffee can offer a unique twist on cream-atop-cappuccino (for nonconformists), and particularly adventurous types can even dip into the world of savory delights. (Why not whip up a garlicky cream, free from sugar and sweet additives, for your next soup?) The sky's the limit.

But don't throw oysters into the mix. That might be going a little too far.
