Ingredients
Scale
For Homemade Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Chill Equipment: Place a mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to chill.
- Whip the 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, beat the cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Finish Whipping: Continue beating until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat or the cream will turn buttery. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less powdered sugar.
- For flavored whipped cream, add a splash of almond extract, cocoa powder, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
