Whipped Cream Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 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.
- Pour heavy cream into the bowl: Remove the bowl and beaters from the fridge and pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl.
- Add sugar and vanilla: Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the heavy cream.
- 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.
