Homemade Whipped Cream
A recipe so simple and easy that my kids make it when I'm not looking. In under 5 minutes, you can have perfect whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream - also known as heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoon Powdered Sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon Vanilla 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.

Notes
- Cold cream whips best. Chill the bowl and beaters too if you have a minute.
- Stop at soft peaks: A few seconds too long and you're on your way to butter.
- Make it hold: A teaspoon of instant pudding mix or a little extra powdered sugar helps it stay stable for piping.
- Storage: Keeps 2-3 days in the fridge; re-whisk gently if it loosens.
- Adjust to taste — more sugar for sweeter, more vanilla for richer.
