Scale
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Chill the mixing bowl. About 15-30 minutes prior to making the whipped cream, place your mixing bowl and wire whisk attachment into the refrigerator to chill (or the freezer since it’s so hot here in Miami!) Whipped cream tends to whip better when everything is cold!
- Add all the ingredients into the chilled mixing bowl and then beat the mixture. Aim to minimize the amount of time it takes to make the recipe, so it stays cold the whole time!
- Mix on a low speed to incorporate the powdered sugar with the whipping cream. Then gradually increase the speed to high as the mixture starts to form soft peaks – this takes just between 60 seconds to 90 seconds. Pause halfway, scrape down the sides, and continue whipping.
- Beat until stiff peaks form. You’ll want to be careful not to mix/beat too long or else you’ll have butter. Do not walk away!
- Serve and enjoy! Use this in place of ‘cool whip’ for desserts. I’ve listed a few below that’ll pair well.
