How to Make Whipped Cream Topping

  1. Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl and mixer beaters in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before starting. This helps achieve maximum volume.
  2. Ensure your heavy whipping cream is thoroughly chilled. Very cold cream whips up best.
  3. Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the chilled mixing bowl.
  4. Beat on low speed until the mixture begins to thicken slightly and you see soft peaks forming.
  5. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. The whipped cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters.
  6. Gently fold in any desired extracts (optional).
  7. Spoon the whipped cream onto your favorite dessert.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24-48 hours for best results.
