Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dried culinary lavender
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the dried culinary lavender and water. Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture begins to simmer, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Strain the lavender mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, discarding the lavender buds. Allow the infused liquid to cool completely.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and add the cooled lavender infusion, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar.
Step 4
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream mixture on medium to high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can become grainy.
Step 5
Taste the whipped cream and adjust the sugar or vanilla to your preference if needed.
Step 6
Transfer the Lavender Vanilla Crème Chantilly to a serving bowl or pipe onto desserts immediately.
Step 7
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
