Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer for about 15 minutes before starting to ensure the whipped cream whips up quickly and holds its shape.
Step 2
Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream.
Step 4
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, begin beating the cream on low speed to prevent splashing. Gradually increase the speed to medium-high as the cream starts to thicken.
Step 5
Continue to beat the mixture until soft peaks form. This is when the cream holds its shape but the peaks softly fall back after lifting the whisk.
Step 6
Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can quickly turn into butter if beaten for too long.
Step 7
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours before use.
