Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before you start.
  2. Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the mixing bowl. Add in the granulated or powdered sugar, along with the vanilla extract.
  3. Using your electric mixer (or whisk), begin mixing the cream on medium speed.

Notes

  • Store whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • For longer-lasting whipped cream, consider adding a stabilizer like cornstarch or gelatin.
  • Avoid freezing whipped cream, as it may change texture.
