Description

Learn how to make delicious homemade whipped cream that’s perfect for topping all your favorite desserts. This easy recipe requires just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time.


Ingredients

Cold Heavy Whipping Cream:

  • 1 cup

Powdered Sugar (to taste):

  • 2-3 tablespoons

Pure Vanilla Extract:

  • 1 teaspoon


Instructions

  1. Chill Mixing Bowl and Beaters: Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
  2. Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  4. Continue beating until soft or stiff peaks form. Avoid overbeating to prevent graininess or butter formation. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.


Notes

  • Adjust sweetness by varying powdered sugar amounts.
  • For flavor variations, experiment with almond or peppermint extract.
  • Great for topping pies, cakes, hot cocoa, or fresh fruit.
