2 tablespoons of powdered sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

Chill Your Equipment:

Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before you start. This helps the cream whip more quickly and increases volume.

Combine Ingredients:

Remove the chilled bowl and beaters from the refrigerator.

Pour the heavy whipping cream into the bowl.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream.

Whip the Cream:

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, start whipping the cream.

After a minute, increase the speed to high.

Continue whipping until soft peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters out of the cream, the peaks will hold their shape but will slightly fold over at the tips.

Be careful not to over-whip, as the cream can turn into butter.

Adjust for Taste and Texture:

Taste the whipped cream and add more powdered sugar or vanilla extract if desired.

If the cream is too thick, you can gently fold in a small amount of additional heavy cream to lighten it.

Serve and Store:

Use the whipped cream immediately as a topping for desserts such as pies, cakes, hot chocolate, or fresh fruit.

If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best used within 24 hours as it can start to lose its texture and become watery.

Tips for Perfect Whipped Cream:

Chill Everything: Cold equipment and cream whip up faster and result in better volume.

Watch Closely: It’s easy to over-whip cream. Stop beating once you reach the desired consistency.

Flavor Variations: Experiment with different extracts (almond, mint) or add a splash of liqueur for a unique twist.
