Fresh Whipped Cream
makes about 2 cups
How sweet you like your whipped cream is up to you – the proportions here are just a guideline. When the dessert is particularly sweet, like a rich chocolate cake, I tend to add less sugar than for a less sweet one, like a simple berry cobbler.
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
prep: 5 minutes
total: 5 minutes
hand mixer
bowl
1. Make sure your cream is nice and cold - it will make it easier to whip.
2. Pour the cream into the bowl. Begin to whip on medium speed with your electric mixer (this can be done by hand, but it's quite tiring) until it becomes fluffy. Gently stir in the sugar and vanilla, adjust the sweetness to taste, and keep mixing until the cream has formed soft peaks.
