Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chill Equipment: For best results, place your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer for about 10-15 minutes before you start. This helps the cream whip up more quickly.
- Combine Ingredients: In the chilled mixing bowl, pour in the cold heavy cream. Add the sugar and vanilla extract.
- Whip the Cream: Using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, beat the cream on medium-high speed. Start slowly and increase the speed as the cream begins to thicken. Continue whipping until soft peaks form (when you lift the beaters, the peaks should gently fall over).
- Check Consistency: For firmer whipped cream, continue to beat until stiff peaks form (the peaks should stand up straight). Be careful not to overwhip, as this can turn the cream into butter.
- Serve: Use immediately as a topping for desserts, or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If the whipped cream deflates, you can re-whip it lightly to restore its texture.
