Ingredients
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk or beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to ensure they are cold. This helps the cream whip more easily.
Step 2
Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Step 4
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, begin beating the mixture on medium speed.
Step 5
Gradually increase the speed to high and continue whipping until medium to stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip, as this can turn the cream into butter.
Step 6
Taste and adjust sweetness, if necessary, by adding a small amount of powdered sugar and gently mixing it in.
Step 7
Use immediately as a substitute for whipped topping or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
