Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
-
In a chilled bowl of a stand mixer, add the heavy cream and begin to beat on medium speed.
-
Slowly add in the organic sugar and pure vanilla extract.
-
Continue to beat until stiff peaks begin to form. [This typically happens between 6-10 minutes, depending on your exact speed and the type of mixer you are using.]
-
Use immediately or place in refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Recipe Notes
- Cold heavy cream and a chilled bowl work best and fastest for this recipe, but if you are in a pinch it will still turn out great if the bowl isn't chilled (the cream needs to be cold though)
- Stop once you have stiff peaks. Over beating heavy cream will cause it to separate and form buttermilk and butter if beaten too long.
- You don't have to have a stand mixer, it's just what I have that works best. A regular mixer, or even just a bowl and a whisk will work great.
