Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before you begin to ensure the cream whips properly.
Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream.
Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it begins to thicken.
Increase the speed to high and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn into butter.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
