Description
Homemade whipped cream is easy to make. With some heavy cream or heavy whipping cream on hand, this recipe comes together in no time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 grams) of heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar
- 2 tsp of vanilla extract (or extract of your choosing to create specific flavors)
Instructions
- In your stand mixer’s chilled bowl, pour 1 cup of cold heavy cream or whipping cream. Be sure your whisk attachment is also cold. You may instead use a hand mixer and bowl, though they should be cold as well.
- Whip the cream on medium high speed until it begins to thicken and form stiff peaks. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the peaks have formed, if you’re adding in flavorings, now is the time! Whip on low for an additional minute.
Notes
Be careful not to over-whip your cream, as it will develop a grainy appearance and butter-like flavor.
