Whipped Cream
Description
This Whipped Cream recipe starts by chilling the mixing bowl and beaters to help the cream whip more efficiently. Heavy whipping cream is combined with powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then whipped from low to medium-high speed until soft peaks develop. The texture is airy with a smooth consistency and a subtly sweet vanilla flavor.
The whipped cream works well as a topping for desserts like pies, cakes, or hot beverages. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. To extend its shelf life, the whipped cream can be frozen by portioning into dollops on parchment paper, freezing until solid, and then storing in airtight containers for up to two months.
This freezing method allows for convenient individual servings for garnishing hot drinks or desserts without thawing the entire batch at once.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- To get started, place your mixing bowl and whisk attachment (or beaters if mixing with a hand mixer) in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill.
- Once chilled, remove from the freezer and add heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to your bowl.
- Whether using the Kitchen-aid or a hand-mixer, start mixing on low speed then increase to medium-high. Mix until soft peaks form.
Notes
- Chill mixing bowl and beaters to assist in whipping cream effectively.
- Store finished whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
- Freeze in dollop portions on parchment-lined trays; then transfer to airtight containers for up to 2 months storage.
- Frozen dollops are convenient for individual use on hot drinks or desserts without thawing the whole batch.
