Whipped Cream
Description
The recipe uses heavy cream beaten with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, providing a creamy, airy texture. Chilling the mixing bowl helps the cream whip more easily. The recipe advises not to overwhip to prevent turning the cream into butter, ensuring a smooth and delicate consistency.
This whipped cream can be used immediately or refrigerated briefly until needed, making it a convenient and simple way to enhance pies, cakes, hot drinks, or fresh fruit.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 /3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place cream and sugar in a chilled mixing bowl and mix on high for 1-2 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes or until soft peaks have formed. Don't whip too much! Refrigerate until using.
Notes
- Use a chilled mixing bowl for best whipping results.
- Beat on high speed but stop once soft peaks form to avoid overwhipping.
- Refrigerate whipped cream until ready to use.
- The yield is about 2 cups of whipped cream from 1 cup heavy cream.
