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

  1. 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.
  2. Whip the cream on medium high speed until it begins to thicken and form stiff peaks. This will take about 3-4 minutes. 
  3. 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.
