Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cold heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or whisk
  • Measuring spoons
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Chill Your Mixing Bowl. For the best results, place your mixing bowl in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before you begin.
  2. Step 2: Combine Ingredients. In your chilled mixing bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, sifted powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste.
  3. Step 3: Whip the Cream. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks begin to form, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Taste and Adjust. Once you’ve reached soft peaks, taste the cream. Add more powdered sugar if desired and mix briefly.
  5. Step 5: Serve Immediately or Store. Use the cream right away as a topping or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Re-whip gently before serving if stored.
  • Experiment with flavor variations using different extracts.
