Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer for about 15 minutes before starting to ensure the whipped cream whips up quickly and holds its shape.
Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, begin beating the cream on low speed to prevent splashing. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high as the cream starts to thicken.
Continue to beat the mixture until soft peaks form. This is when the cream holds its shape but the peaks softly fall back after lifting the whisk.
Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can quickly turn into butter if beaten for too long.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours before use.
