Easy Vanilla Whipped Cream
Easy Vanilla Whipped Cream is a delightfully light and fluffy topping that's perfect for any dessert. It's not heavy or overly sweet, making it an ideal addition to pies, cakes, or fresh fruit.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Equipment
- Place the mixing bowl and beaters of the electric mixer in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill to help the cream whip faster.
Whip the Cream
- Pour the chilled heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
- Start whipping the cream on medium speed using the electric mixer or hand whisk until it begins to thicken.
Add Sweetener and Flavor
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the thickened cream.
- Continue whipping on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, being careful not to overwhip, or the cream will become grainy and turn into butter.
Serve
- Use immediately as a topping for your favorite desserts, or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
