Chill a mixing bowl and whisk or hand mixer beaters in the refrigerator for 15 minutes prior to starting, as this helps the cream whip faster.
In the chilled bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, begin whipping the cream until it starts to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar, Grand Marnier, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Continue whipping the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, approximately 2-3 more minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can turn the cream into butter.
Once the whipped cream reaches the desired consistency, stop mixing immediately.
Serve immediately or refrigerate the whipped cream for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Whisk lightly before serving if needed.
