Homemade Whipped Cream Recipe
Description
The Homemade Whipped Cream Recipe relies on very cold heavy whipping cream combined with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. The chilling of the mixing bowl helps the cream whip properly by keeping it cold during the process. Using an electric mixer, the cream is first beaten on low speed until thickening begins, then increased to medium speed until stiff peaks form, resulting in a stable and airy cream. This whipped cream can be served immediately or used as a topping for pies, cakes, or hot drinks to add a smooth, lightly sweetened creaminess.
Ingredients
- 4 cups heavy whipping cream , very cold
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Chill a large metal mixing bowl (or the bowl of an electric stand mixer) in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- Add whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the chilled bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed. When the whipped cream begins to thicken, increase the speed to medium and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Transfer the whipped cream to a bowl or piping bag to serve.
