Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (or preferred flavoring)
- 1 tablespoon Optional cocoa powder or berry puree (based on chosen variation)
Instructions
Start with cold heavy cream by refrigerating it beforehand. This helps ensure the cream whips properly.
In a large, chilled mixing bowl, add the heavy cream and powdered sugar.
For the vanilla version, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, begin whisking the cream on medium speed.
As the mixture thickens, increase the speed to medium-high, and whip until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
For a chocolate variation, sift in 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and whip for an additional 30 seconds, or until fully incorporated.
For a berry-infused variation, gently fold in 1 tablespoon of a smooth berry puree (like raspberry or strawberry) after whipping to soft peaks.
Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can quickly turn into butter.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before using.
