Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Chill a large mixing bowl and the beaters of your hand mixer (or the whisk attachment of a stand mixer) in the freezer for 10 minutes. This helps the cream whip more efficiently.
Step 2
In the chilled bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, orange zest, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Increase the speed to high and continue whipping until soft peaks form (the cream should hold its shape but have slightly droopy tips when the beaters are lifted), approximately 2-3 minutes more.
Step 5
Taste the whipped cream and adjust sweetness or citrus flavor by adding a little more powdered sugar or zest, if desired.
Step 6
Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Gently re-whisk before serving if needed.
