Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 g) cold heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons (22 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (4 g) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl.
- Whip Cream: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat on medium-high speed until soft to medium peaks form, about 3–5 minutes.
- Monitor Consistency: Be careful not to overmix or the cream may become grainy or turn into butter.
- Serve or Store: Serve immediately, or refrigerate and use within 24 hours.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream is cold before whipping for best results.
- Adjust the powdered sugar to taste depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- If overwhipped, the cream can turn into butter; stop whipping once medium peaks form.
- Use fresh vanilla extract for optimal flavor.
- Whipped cream is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
