Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Crème fraîche
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Chill a large mixing bowl and whisk (or the bowl and whisk attachment of a stand mixer) in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to ensure the cream stays cold during whipping.
Add the heavy cream, crème fraîche, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the chilled bowl.
Using a handheld whisk, electric mixer, or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 3–5 minutes, depending on your equipment.
Be careful not to overwhip, as the mixture can become grainy. Stop whipping as soon as the peaks hold their shape and the cream is light and fluffy.
Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a small amount of powdered sugar and gently folding it in.
Use immediately as a topping for pies, cakes, or berries, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
