Using a sharp paring knife, carefully split the vanilla bean lengthwise. Gently scrape out the tiny black seeds with the back of the knife. Place the vanilla seeds in a large mixing bowl; discard the pod (or save for infusing sugar or other liquids!). (Prep time: 3 minutes)

Pour the chilled heavy cream over the vanilla seeds. Add the superfine sugar and vanilla extract (if using). (Prep time: 1 minute)

Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer) fitted with the whisk attachment, begin whipping the cream on medium speed. Gradually increase the speed to high as the cream starts to thicken. (Whip time: 3-5 minutes)

Whip until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, or the cream will turn grainy. Soft peaks are reached when the cream holds its shape but the tips gently curl over when the whisk is lifted. (Check frequently after 3 minutes).

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the vanilla flavor to fully infuse and the cream to stabilize. (Chill time: 30+ minutes)
For best results, use a metal bowl and chill it in the freezer for 15 minutes before whipping the cream. This helps the cream whip up faster and hold its shape better.
If you don't have superfine sugar, you can pulse regular granulated sugar in a food processor until it's finely ground.
The vanilla bean pod can be added to your sugar container to make vanilla sugar.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the dessert you're serving it with.
For a dairy-free alternative, try using chilled coconut cream (the thick part from a can of full-fat coconut milk that has been refrigerated overnight). It whips up beautifully!
