Homemade whipped cream with only 3 ingredients! You will not go back, I promise!

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup heavy cream 

1/4 cup confectioners sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in the mixer bowl. Make sure the heavy cream is straight from the refrigerator. Cold heavy cream is best for making firm whipping cream.
  2. Whip the ingredients starting on low speed. If you start high too fast, you will have heavy cream all over you and the kitchen. Once the whip cream starts to come to form a thicker consistency, turn the mixer on high. Beat until the whip cream is thick and rich.
  3. Stiff Peaks is what you are looking for. What does that mean? When you turn the beaters off and take them off, the cream holds the peaks that formed on the beater, even upside down or right side up.
  4. Serve with your favorite berries or dessert or eat homemade whipped cream by the spoonful.

Notes

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but I say that with hesitation. Without any actual stabilizer in the whip, it can lose its firmness. In this case, just whip lightly with a hand whisk to bring back to a rich and thick whipped cream.
