Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Start by ensuring all your equipment, such as a mixing bowl and whisk, is clean and dry.
2. Pour the heavy cream into the mixing bowl.
3. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream.
4. Using a hand whisk or an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken. This may take 2-4 minutes.
5. Once the cream thickens and holds soft peaks, reduce the speed to low and continue whisking slowly for another minute to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.
6. Be careful not to overwhip as the cream could turn grainy or begin to separate.
7. Transfer the cottage cream to a serving dish or bowl, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving (optional) to allow flavors to meld and the cream to firm up slightly.
8. Serve chilled as a topping for scones, fresh berries, or other desserts.
