This easy recipe shows you how to turn just 1 glass of milk into fluffy, homemade whipped cream in 10 minutes! With a few simple steps, you can create a perfect topping for desserts, coffee, or any treat that needs a creamy finish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240ml) of heavy cream or whole milk
- 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Chill your equipment: Place a mixing bowl and the beaters of your electric mixer in the freezer for about 5 minutes. Chilled utensils help the cream whip faster.
- Pour the cream or milk: Pour 1 cup of heavy cream (or whole milk for a lighter option) into the chilled mixing bowl.
- Add sweeteners (optional): If you want sweetened whipped cream, add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Whip: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream for about 5-8 minutes (if using heavy cream). If you are using milk, it will take longer and may not be as thick, but keep whipping until soft peaks form.
- Check consistency: Once soft peaks form and the mixture holds its shape, stop mixing.
- Serve: Use immediately on desserts, drinks, or fruit.
Enjoy your homemade whipped cream!
