Ingredients:
- Heavy cream
- Sugar (optional)
- Vanilla extract (optional)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup heavy cream
Cream is the fat and water in milk. It can be added to coffee, tea or other beverages. Cream is also used in cooking, especially desserts. It can also be whipped into whipped cream! You can use either heavy cream, light cream or half-and-half for this recipe (or any combination of them).
2 tablespoons sugar
Now you need to incorporate the sugar into your cream. You can use either granulated or confectioner’s (powdered) sugar. If you’re using the latter, mix it with a small amount of water first; otherwise, go right ahead and add it straight in. Whichever type you choose will produce a different texture—granulated sugar makes for a stiffer whipped cream while powdered gives you something softer and looser. Whisk until fully combined as before and then add in any flavoring extracts or liqueurs if desired (see below).
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream is delicious and fun to make. It’s also easy! The most important thing is to remember that the cream will double in size once whipped, so you want to start with a small amount of liquid.
One teaspoon vanilla extract per cup of heavy whipping cream should be enough flavoring for most people. You can always add more if you like your whipped cream very strongly flavored (but just remember that it will become too sweet if you add too much). Additionally, vanilla extract comes in varying degrees of quality: generally speaking, the more expensive ones are better for this purpose because they have less alcohol content and thus result in smoother texture once combined with your whipped cream mixture. If you don’t have vanilla extract on hand but would still like some flavor in your whipped cream (or other desserts), consider using another option such as orange zest or cinnamon instead!
Directions:
Whipped cream is a simple and delicious topping that can be added to a variety of dishes. Here’s how to make whipped cream:
- Combine the heavy cream and sugar in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer (or do this by hand) to combine them until stiff peaks form, about 1–2 minutes.
- Add flavorings, such as vanilla extract or cocoa powder. Mix just until combined; don’t overmix!
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving again.
