Description
Once you see how easy it is to make homemade whipped cream, you’ll never go back to the frozen topping or spray can cream again. All you need are heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to make the classic whipped cream you love. And you can even make it ahead of time!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, more or less to your taste
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Put a metal mixing bowl in the freezer a few hours before making the whipped cream.
- When you’re ready to make the whipped cream, pour the heavy whipping cream into your chilled metal bowl.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract (if using).
- Start whipping the cream on the lowest setting using an electric hand mixer. Once the powdered sugar is incorporated, turn the speed up.
- Keep whipping the cream, rotating the bowl, until soft folds begin to form. Mix the whipping cream until it’s the consistency that you prefer. Enjoy!
Notes
The whipped cream will keep in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for 2-3 days. You can also substitute other flavorings for the vanilla extract:
- ground cinnamon
- peppermint extract
- almond extract
- fold in crushed candies or citrus zest
