Follow the steps for perfect whipped cream, do not use white granulated sugar it will cause the whipped cream to "weep" more use only confectioners sugar and make certain that you chill the glass or stainless steel bowl and beaters in the fridge for at least 1 hour or you can even leave them for 24 hours, no plastic bowls for this please! and leave your whipping cream in the coldest spot in your refrigerator or place in the freezer for 15 minutes

Time 1h

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup very cold heavy whipping cream (35%)
3 -4 tablespoons sifted confectioners' sugar
1/2-1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional but good to add in)

Steps:

  • Place a glass or stainless steel bowl and the mixer beaters in the fridge for at least 1 hour or even 24 hours.
  • Meanwhile place the whipping cream in the coldest section of your refrigerator or you can freeze for 15 minutes (set a timer so you will remember to remove from the freezer DO NOT allow the cream to freeze).
  • Pour the very cold whipping cream into the chilled bowl; beat on high speed of an electric mixer until just beginning to thicken (do not add in any confectioners sugar or vanilla until the cream has slightly thickened).
  • Using a spoon sprinkle the sifted confectioners sugar over the cream then add in the vanilla; and continue beating until soft peaks form stopping the mixer every minute to scrape down the sides of the bowl (beating time will depend on the mixer you are using, hand mixers generally take slightly longer).
  • Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • It is recommended to use the whipped cream the same day it is made.

Tips:

  • Use heavy cream with a fat content of at least 36%. This will ensure that the whipped cream is thick and fluffy.
  • Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping. This will also help it to whip up quickly and easily.
  • Use a chilled bowl and beaters. This will help to keep the cream cold and prevent it from becoming grainy.
  • Start whipping on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the cream begins to thicken.
  • Whip the cream until it reaches stiff peaks. This means that the peaks will hold their shape when you lift the beaters out of the cream.
  • If you overwhip the cream, it will become grainy and curdled. If this happens, you can try to salvage it by adding a little bit of milk or cream and whipping it again on low speed.
  • Whipped cream can be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as sugar, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or fruit.
  • Whipped cream is best served immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Whipped cream is a versatile and delicious topping that can be used on a variety of desserts, such as pies, cakes, and ice cream. It is also a popular ingredient in coffee drinks and cocktails. With a few simple tips, you can easily make perfect whipped cream at home.
