Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
• Spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Prepare the Mixing Bowl:
   • Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are chilled by placing them in the freezer for about 10 minutes before you start. This helps the cream whip up faster and more efficiently.
2. Start Whipping the Cream:
   • Pour the chilled heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
   • Begin whipping the cream on medium speed using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until it starts to thicken slightly.
3. Add the Sweetener and Flavorings:
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
   • Add the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract to the whipped cream.
4. Finish Whipping:
   • Continue to whip the cream mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and the peanut butter is fully incorporated. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can cause the cream to become grainy.
5. Serve:
   • Use the peanut butter whipped cream immediately to top your favorite desserts or refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.

Enjoy this Easy Peanut Butter Whipped Cream as a fluffy, nutty, and delightful topping that adds a perfect touch to any dessert!
