Whipped Cream Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chill the mixing bowl and beaters: Place the mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to ensure they are cold, which helps the cream whip faster and achieve better volume.
  2. Pour heavy cream into the bowl: Remove the bowl and beaters from the fridge and pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl.
  3. Add sugar and vanilla: Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the heavy cream.
  4. Whip the cream: Using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape but still be soft and slightly droopy when the whisk is lifted.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure all equipment and ingredients are well chilled.
  • Do not overwhip, as it may turn into butter.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste depending on desired sweetness.
