Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Chill a mixing bowl in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to help the cream whip faster.
-
Once chilled, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
-
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form.
-
Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, but be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn the cream into butter.
-
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
-
For different flavors, try adding almond, hazelnut, or cinnamon extracts.
-
For a chocolate version, fold in cocoa powder.
-
Coconut cream can be used as a dairy-free alternative for a tropical twist.
-
If you prefer a sweeter whipped cream, you can increase the powdered sugar.
