Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the cream: Place the cold heavy whipping cream in a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken.
- Add sweeteners and flavor: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the thickening cream.
- Whip to soft peaks: Continue whipping on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream can turn grainy.
- Serve or store: Serve the Chantilly Cream immediately or refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- For best results, chill the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes before whipping.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar to taste.
