Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chill Equipment: For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk) in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before starting.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Pour the cold cream into the bowl. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  3. Whip Cream: Using a hand mixer, stand mixer, or whisk, beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  4. Serve or Store: Use immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Re-whip gently if needed.

Notes

  • For stiffer whipped cream, whip to firm peaks without overmixing.
  • Experiment with flavor variations like almond extract or citrus zest.
