Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Chill: Chill a metal bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Combine: In the chilled bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Whip: Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Serve: Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Tips:
- For a thicker cream, chill the bowl and beaters longer.
- To prevent overwhipping, stop beating as soon as stiff peaks form. Overwhipping can result in butter.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
- Use homemade or store-bought heavy cream.
