Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Chill a mixing bowl and whisk in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to ensure the cream whips properly.
Step 2
In the chilled bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, instant espresso powder, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed, whip the mixture until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn into butter.
Step 4
Taste the whipped cream and adjust sweetness or espresso flavor if desired by adding a little more powdered sugar or espresso powder, then whip briefly to combine.
Step 5
Serve immediately as a topping for desserts, beverages, or enjoy on its own. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, re-whipping briefly if needed before serving.
