Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream (cold)
- 2 oz White chocolate (finely chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Place the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
Pour the warm cream over the chopped white chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Whisk the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow it to cool to room temperature, but not so cool that it solidifies.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup of cold heavy cream and the vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cold cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the cooled white chocolate mixture, a spoonful at a time, while continuing to whip the cream on medium speed.
Continue whipping until firm peaks form and the whipped cream is smooth and fluffy. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn to butter if overbeaten.
Use immediately to top desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
