How to Make Whipping Cream

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before starting. This helps achieve maximum volume.
  2. Pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl.
  3. Begin whipping on medium speed. Gradually increase to high speed as the cream thickens.
  4. Once soft peaks form, reduce the speed to medium-low and slowly add 2-4 tablespoons of powdered sugar (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip!
  6. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
