Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream 16 ounces
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar 33 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 grams
Instructions
- Chill the metal bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or a large metal bowl to use with a hand mixer) for at least 5 minutes in the fridge or freezer.
- Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cold bowl. 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it begins to thicken. Then increase to high speed and continue beating until soft peaks form. Soft peaks will hold their shape but still have a slight curl when you lift the beaters. Be careful not to over whip, as the cream can end up with a grainy texture or start to form butter.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate and use within 24 hours.
