Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Key ingredient for creaminess.
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar Sweetens the whipped cream.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds flavor to the cream.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill your equipment: Begin by chilling your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  2. Combine the ingredients: In your chilled bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. Whip it good: Use a whisk or an electric mixer at medium speed to whip the mixture until soft peaks form, typically 3-5 minutes.
  4. Check for stiffness: Continue to whip until you reach your desired consistency, being careful not to overwhip.
  5. Taste and adjust: Taste the cream and add more sugar or vanilla if needed, then whip to combine.
  6. Serve immediately or store: Use your whipped cream right away or store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

Use cold cream for the best results, and avoid overwhipping to prevent a grainy texture. Experiment with flavors like citrus zest or cocoa powder.
