Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Chill equipment by placing the mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk) in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
  2. Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl.
  3. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt if using.
  4. Begin mixing on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high until soft peaks form, or whisk vigorously by hand.
  5. Check when the cream holds its shape but isn’t overwhipped—look for soft peaks.
  6. Taste the whipped cream and adjust sweetness or vanilla to your preference.
  7. Use immediately or refrigerate for later.
