Description
Grab your mixer, a carton of cream, a teaspoon of sugar and vanilla…and in 5 minutes, you can be enjoying this fresh, homemade whipped cream recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream, thoroughly chilled
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (add more/less to taste)
Optional mix-ins (choose one):
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, store-bought or homemade
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1–2 teaspoons bourbon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters by placing them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before using. (A whisk attachment is preferable, but normal beaters work well too.)
- When you’re ready to make the whipped cream, remove the bowl and beaters at attach them to the stand mixer. Pour in the cream and sugar. Then mix the cream on low speed for about 15 seconds (otherwise you’ll get splashed!). Then increase speed to high, continuing to mix until soft peaks form.
- Add in an optional mix-in to taste, either folding it in by hand with a rubber spatula or mixing it on low-speed for a few seconds until combined.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1-2 hours.
