Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
Instructions
- Chill the Bowl: Start by chilling your mixer bowl for 5-10 minutes. A cold bowl helps the heavy cream whip faster and achieve fluffy peaks.
- Add Heavy Cream: Pour 1 cup of cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl, ensuring it’s ready to whip up into beautiful, creamy bliss.
- Add Sugar and Whip: Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and whip on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the cream starts to thicken and looks creamy.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Pour in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, allowing its rich aroma to infuse your whipped cream with delightful flavor.
- Whip to Peaks: Increase to medium-high speed and whip for 1-1.5 minutes more until medium peaks form—look for a soft but stable texture.
- Use or Store: Use immediately to top your favorite desserts, or transfer to an airtight container in the fridge for up to 12 hours.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream is very cold for best results.
- Do not overwhip to avoid turning the cream into butter.
- Adjust the powdered sugar amount to your preferred sweetness.
- This whipped cream is best used within 12 hours for optimal freshness.
- Use pure vanilla extract to enhance the flavor authentically.
