Description

A quick and simple homemade vanilla whipped cream that’s perfect for topping desserts, fruits, or hot drinks.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place a mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill.
  2. Pour the chilled heavy whipping cream into the cold mixing bowl.
  3. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  4. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  5. Continue beating until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
  6. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream is very cold for best whipping results.
  • Do not overbeat or the cream may turn into butter.
  • You can adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less sugar.
  • For a sturdier whipped cream, add 1 tablespoon of instant pudding mix.
