Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream (cold)
- 0.5 cup Creme fraiche (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Place a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk (or the whisk attachment of a hand or stand mixer) in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill. This helps the whipped cream form more easily.
Remove the chilled bowl and whisk from the freezer and add the heavy cream, creme fraiche, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Using a hand whisk or an electric mixer on medium speed, begin whipping the mixture. Start slowly to avoid splashes, then gradually increase speed as the mixture starts to thicken.
Whip the mixture until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the mixture can turn grainy or start to separate.
Taste the whipped cream and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a little more powdered sugar, then gently whisk to combine.
Serve immediately as a topping for desserts or fresh fruit, or cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before serving. Gently re-whisk if needed before use.
