Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Chill Equipment
Place your mixing bowl and whisk (or beaters) in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before starting. This helps the cream whip better.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In the chilled mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.
- 3
Whip the Cream
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, start whipping the cream on low speed. Gradually increase the speed to high. Continue whipping until soft peaks form, which will take about 2-3 minutes.
- 4
Check for Stiff Peaks
Once soft peaks have formed, keep whipping until stiff peaks form. This means that when you lift the whisk out of the cream, it should hold its shape without collapsing. This should take an additional 1-2 minutes.
- 5
Taste and Adjust
Taste the whipped cream and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more powdered sugar, a little at a time, until desired sweetness is achieved. Whip briefly to combine.

Serve or Store
Use immediately as a topping for desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Re-whip if necessary before serving.
