Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Chill a large mixing bowl and the beaters of your hand mixer (or the whisk attachment of a stand mixer) in the freezer for 10 minutes. This helps the cream whip more efficiently.
In the chilled bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, orange zest, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Increase the speed to high and continue whipping until soft peaks form (the cream should hold its shape but have slightly droopy tips when the beaters are lifted), approximately 2-3 minutes more.
Taste the whipped cream and adjust sweetness or citrus flavor by adding a little more powdered sugar or zest, if desired.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Gently re-whisk before serving if needed.
