Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dried culinary lavender
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the dried culinary lavender and water. Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture begins to simmer, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes.
Strain the lavender mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, discarding the lavender buds. Allow the infused liquid to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and add the cooled lavender infusion, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream mixture on medium to high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can become grainy.
Taste the whipped cream and adjust the sugar or vanilla to your preference if needed.
Transfer the Lavender Vanilla Crème Chantilly to a serving bowl or pipe onto desserts immediately.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
