🥘 Ingredients

3 items

• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl and the whisk attachment of a stand mixer (or handheld mixer beaters) in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to ensure the cream stays cold during whipping.

2. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl.

3. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream.

4. Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer on medium-high speed, begin whipping the mixture. Start the mixer on low speed and gradually increase to avoid splattering.

5. Continue whipping for about 3-5 minutes, or until soft peaks form. To check for soft peaks, lift the whisk out of the cream; the peaks should gently hold their shape and then curl over slightly at the tips.

6. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can cause the cream to turn grainy or start forming butter.

7. Use the whipped dessert topping immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
