Ingredients

• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl and the whisk attachment of a stand mixer (or handheld mixer beaters) in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to ensure the cream stays cold during whipping.

Step 2

Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl.

Step 3

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream.

Step 4

Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer on medium-high speed, begin whipping the mixture. Start the mixer on low speed and gradually increase to avoid splattering.

Step 5

Continue whipping for about 3-5 minutes, or until soft peaks form. To check for soft peaks, lift the whisk out of the cream; the peaks should gently hold their shape and then curl over slightly at the tips.

Step 6

Be careful not to overwhip, as this can cause the cream to turn grainy or start forming butter.

Step 7

Use the whipped dessert topping immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
