Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Heavy cream (cold)
- 30 g Powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Optional stabilizer (gelatin or cream stabilizer powder)
Instructions
1. Place a medium mixing bowl and the whisk or beaters of your mixer in the refrigerator or freezer for about 15 minutes to chill. This step helps the cream whip faster and maintain its structure.
2. Remove the chilled mixing bowl and whisk/beaters from the fridge or freezer.
3. Pour the cold heavy cream into the bowl.
4. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, begin to whip the cream while gradually adding the powdered sugar. Continue whipping until the cream begins to thicken.
5. Add the vanilla extract for flavor. If using a stabilizer, incorporate it at this stage by sprinkling it evenly over the cream.
6. Increase mixer speed to high and continue whipping until soft peaks form. Soft peaks hold their shape but will gently fold over when the whisk is lifted.
7. For stiffer peaks, continue whipping for an extra 10-20 seconds. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can turn your cream into butter.
8. Use immediately as a topping or refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
