Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Chill Equipment: Place a mixing bowl and beaters or whisk in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill.
- Whip Cream: Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed (or a whisk if doing it by hand), beat the mixture until soft peaks form, about 2-4 minutes.
- Finish: Continue beating to stiff peaks if you prefer a firmer whipped cream, being careful not to overwhip. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to taste.
- For a flavored twist, try adding a splash of almond extract, citrus zest, or a drizzle of honey.
