Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk (or the whisk attachment of a stand mixer) in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This will help the cream whip faster and result in a more stable topping.
Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl.
Using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed, begin whipping the cream for about 1-2 minutes until it starts to slightly thicken.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream.
Continue whipping the mixture on medium-high speed for another 2-3 minutes, or until soft peaks form (the whipped cream should hold its shape but curl over slightly when the whisk is lifted).
Be cautious not to over-whip, as this can turn the cream grainy and eventually into butter.
Taste and adjust sweetness, if needed, by adding a small amount of powdered sugar.
Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Gently re-whisk before serving if it softens.
