Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Crème fraîche
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Chill a large mixing bowl and whisk (or the bowl and whisk attachment of a stand mixer) in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to ensure the cream stays cold during whipping.
Step 2
Add the heavy cream, crème fraîche, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the chilled bowl.
Step 3
Using a handheld whisk, electric mixer, or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 3–5 minutes, depending on your equipment.
Step 4
Be careful not to overwhip, as the mixture can become grainy. Stop whipping as soon as the peaks hold their shape and the cream is light and fluffy.
Step 5
Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a small amount of powdered sugar and gently folding it in.
Step 6
Use immediately as a topping for pies, cakes, or berries, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
