Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
Instructions
Chill a mixing bowl and whisk (or whisk attachment if using an electric mixer) in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to ensure they are cold before use.
Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl.
Using a hand whisk or an electric mixer, begin whipping the cream on medium speed until it starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually drizzle in the pure maple syrup while continuing to whip the cream.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using) for added flavor stability, then increase the whipping speed to medium-high.
Whip until soft peaks form, meaning the cream holds its shape but still has a slightly silky appearance. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream could turn into butter.
Taste the cream and adjust sweetness if necessary by blending in a small amount of additional maple syrup.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Gently re-whip with a whisk if needed before serving.
