Mix Ingredients:
In the chilled bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Start Whipping:
Begin whipping the cream on medium speed using an electric mixer. If you don’t have an electric

mixer, you can use a hand whisk, but it will take a bit longer.
Add Food Coloring:
As the cream starts to thicken, add a few drops of pink food coloring. You can adjust the amount of
coloring to achieve your desired shade of pink.
Continue Whipping:
Increase the speed to high and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as
the cream can turn into butter.
Check Consistency:
Check the consistency by lifting the beaters or whisk. The cream should hold its shape and form stiff

peaks.
Use or Store:
Your pink whipped cream is ready to use! Pipe or spread it on your desserts as desired. If you’re not
using it immediately, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Make sure to give it a
gentle stir before using if it has been stored.
Tips:
Flavored Variations: For different flavors, you can replace the vanilla extract with other extracts such
as almond, lemon, or strawberry.
Stabilizing the Whipped Cream: If you need the whipped cream to hold its shape for a longer
period, you can add a tablespoon of instant pudding mix or gelatin.
Adjusting Sweetness: Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your preference for sweetness.

desserts. It’s easy to prepare and can be customized with different flavors and colors. Whether you’re
