This Homemade Whipped Cream Recipe uses just 3 ingredients to make the best homemade whipped topping in minutes. My method will ensure your whipped cream is light, fluffy, and more stable so it holds its shape for longer. You can use this as a substitute for storebought whipped topping.

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients - Into a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
- Whip the Cream - Beat with an electric mixer or whisk attachment. Start on medium speed. As soon as the mixture starts to thicken, increase to medium-high speed. Beat until you have reached your desired consistency, making sure not to over-mix, or it will separate and turn buttery.*
- For Soft Peaks - the cream should look soft and fluffy, and when you lift up the whisk, a gentle curved peak should form. This consistency is perfect for dipping fruit or topping desserts.
- For Stiff Peaks - beat whipped cream until you see peaks that are firm and hold their shape. This will be a more stable whipped cream that is perfect for piping onto desserts or storing overnight.
- Serve the whipped cream right away, or cover and refrigerate.*
Notes
- *How to fix whipped cream that has curdled (over-whipped) - sometimes if it’s not too separated and far gone, you can save it by adding 1-2 Tbsp of cream at a time and fold gently with a spatula until smooth again.
- *Storage: Whipped cream stores better when beaten to stiff peaks. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
- *Stabilized Whipped Cream: For a more stiff whipped cream, add up to 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar to the ingredients.
- *Granulated sugar can feel grainy when making larger batches of whipped cream. Powdered sugar contains cornstarch which also helps stabilize the cream.
