Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Chill Your Equipment: For the best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters or whisk in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before whipping the cream.
-
Combine Ingredients: In the chilled mixing bowl, add heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
-
Whip the Cream: Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, beat on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until soft peaks form.
-
Check Consistency: The whipped cream should hold its shape and form soft peaks. For stiffer peaks, whip for an additional minute.
-
Serve: Serve immediately on your favorite desserts or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
Notes
You can substitute powdered sugar with granulated sugar, but powdered sugar ensures a smoother texture.
Add more vanilla extract or experiment with different flavorings like almond or coconut extract.
To make whipped cream stiffer, beat for a little longer until stiff peaks form, but be careful not to over-whip.
