Description
A quick and easy recipe for homemade vanilla whipped cream that elevates any dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather ingredients: Make sure you have heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract at the ready.
- Chill your bowl: For the best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before starting.
- Add the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Whip using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes until it thickens, then increase to high speed and whip until soft peaks form—about 2 more minutes.

Notes
For best results, use chilled tools and ingredients. Avoid over-whipping to prevent a grainy texture.
