1CupHeavy Cream - also known as heavy whipping cream
2tablespoonPowdered Sugar
1 ½teaspoonVanilla Extract - or vanilla paste
Instructions
Add the heavy cream to a bowl and whisk by hand or with an electric mixer until you notice it becoming thick but NOT as thick as you would want your final product
Add the powdered sugar and continue to whisk to your desired consistency. I prefer my whipped cream almost like yogurt with soft peaks vs cool whip. Personal preference.
Finally, add the vanilla extract and gently mix it in.
Taste, and add more sugar if you prefer slightly sweeter. Add more vanilla if needed.
