01 Step
Recipe View
Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure both your mixing bowl (preferably metal) and whisk attachment are thoroughly chilled. Placing them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes beforehand works wonders. (Prep time: 15-20 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Whip the Cream: Pour the chilled heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), begin whipping on medium speed until the cream starts to thicken and become frothy. (Active time: 2-3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Sweeten and Flavor: Gradually add the sifted confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract to the cream. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue whipping until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip! (Active time: 1-2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Achieve Stiff Peaks: Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. This means the peaks stand straight up when the whisk is lifted. (Active time: 30 seconds - 1 minute, watch carefully!)
05 Step
Recipe View
Serve Immediately: For the best texture, serve the whipped cream immediately. If not serving right away, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 hours. Note that the whipped cream may lose some of its volume upon refrigeration.
For an extra stable whipped cream, consider adding 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar before whipping.
Experiment with different flavor extracts, such as almond, peppermint, or lemon, to customize your whipped cream.
Avoid overwhipping, as it can turn the cream into butter. If you accidentally overwhip, try adding a tablespoon of fresh heavy cream and gently folding it in to restore a smoother consistency.
