Homemade Whipped Cream
Serves: 3
Cook Time: 5mins
Summary

There’s nothing like fresh whipped cream—fluffy, lightly sweet, and way better than anything from a can. Use it to top desserts, stir into coffee, or sneak a spoonful straight from the bowl. No judgment here.

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream

½ cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Chill the Bowl

For best results, pop your mixing bowl (and whisk or beaters) in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before starting.

2. Add the Ingredients

Pour your heavy cream into the chilled bowl followed by the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

3. Whip It Good

Whisk by hand, or use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high. Beat until stiff peaks form—that’s when the cream holds its shape on the whisk. And, that’s it! Fluffy, creamy, and ready to go.

Notes

1. Don’t Overmix

Be careful when mixing. Stop once stiff peaks form to avoid turning it buttery.

2. Adjust the Sweetness

Want it less sweet? Use ¼ cup powdered sugar instead.

3. Save Some for Later

Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Re-whip gently if it starts to deflate.
