There’s nothing quite like fresh homemade whipped cream. It takes just a few minutes to make and tastes so much better than anything from a can or tub. Perfect for topping strawberries, pies, hot cocoa, pancakes, and more!

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Place a mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes.
2. Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl.
3. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
4. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
5. Continue beating until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overmix.
6. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

Tips

• For a sweeter whipped cream, add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar.
• Make sure the cream is very cold for the best results.
• Overbeating can turn whipped cream into butter, so stop once stiff peaks form.

Storage

Store leftover whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a gentle whisk before serving if needed.
