Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer for 10-15 minutes prior to starting. Cold equipment will help achieve better results.
Step 2
Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Step 4
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, begin whipping the mixture. If you prefer to whip by hand, use a whisk and whip vigorously.
Step 5
Continue whipping until the cream begins to thicken and soft peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters or whisk out of the cream, the peak should just barely hold its shape before melting back into the cream.
Step 6
To achieve stiffer peaks, where the peaks hold their shape firmly, continue whipping for a few more seconds. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn grainy and eventually into butter.
Step 7
Taste the whipped cream and adjust sweetness if needed, folding in a small amount of powdered sugar if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Lightly rewhip if needed before use.
