Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
Step 1
Add cold cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl of a mixer. You can also use a hand mixer.
Step 2
Turn your mixer on medium speed and whip for 2-3 minutes until medium peaks form. Medium peaks mean that your whipped cream holds its shape while still being soft and not super stiff. Test your whipped cream by lifting the mixer’s beater. The whipped cream peak will curl over slightly instead of standing straight up or flopping over!
Step 3
Serve on cakes, pies, ice cream, coffee, hot chocolate, or just spoon in your mouth! Keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days without separating.
