Before you begin, place your mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk attachment) in the freezer for about
10-15 minutes to chill. This helps the cream whip up faster and maintain its structure.
Combine Ingredients:
Once the equipment is chilled, pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the mixing bowl.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl.

Whip the Cream:
Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture until soft peaks form. Soft peaks will
hold their shape but will still be a little droopy when the beaters are lifted.
Continue to beat the cream until you reach stiff peaks. Stiff peaks stand straight up when the beaters
are lifted. Be careful not to overbeat, as this can cause the cream to turn into butter.
Use Immediately or Store:
Use the whipped cream frosting immediately to frost your desserts.
If not using right away, store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
If it loses some volume, you can re-whip it for a few seconds before using.

Tips for Success:
Cold Ingredients: Make sure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping. This helps the cream
whip up more quickly and hold its shape better.
Gradual Speed Increase: Start mixing at a low speed and gradually increase to medium-high to avoid
splattering.
Stabilizing: If you need the whipped cream to hold up for longer periods, consider adding a stabilizer
such as a tablespoon of cornstarch, instant pudding mix, or gelatin.
