Steps:
- Pour the cream into a well-chilled bowl and add the sugar and vanilla. Using an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk, beat the cream to the desired consistency. For soft peaks, the cream will be just thick enough to hold its shape in soft billows. For stiffly beaten cream, the beaters or whisk wires will leave distinct traces on the cream and stand in firm peaks when the beaters are lifted.
- MAKE AHEAD
- The cream can be whipped up to 1 day ahead, covered tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerated. If liquid separates from the cream, whip it again to incorporate the liquid.

SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM FRAICHE
This stuff is like heaven in a bowl! The best way to make this fraiche, is to place the cream mixture into a larger bowl with ice, then beat the cream... the trick is to have your whipping cream and sour cream VERY cold. You can place it in the freezer for about 5 minutes until really cold, just watch it does not freeze. Do not use low-fat or fat-free sour cream, only regular full-fat for this. This takes no time to make on a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, if you are using a hand mixer then just be patient, it will take several minutes to achieve the right consistency.

OLD FASHIONED STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH SWEETENED FLAVOURED WHIPPED CREAM
This is the way my Mom used to make Strawberry shortcake, and I still do. Historically, strawberry shortcake was served when the wild strawberries ripened in the meadows. The shortcake was a rich biscuit dough baked in a round cake pan. This recipe was taken from Mrs. George Treadway's handwritten recipe book, dated 1898 and is now part of the historic collection in the museum at High River, Alberta.

Tips for Making Sweetened Whipped Cream:
- **Use cold ingredients:** Ensure that your cream and beaters are well-chilled before starting. This helps the cream whip up faster and maintain its structure better. - **Beat gradually:** Start at a low speed and increase it gradually until you reach soft peaks. Over-beating can result in grainy or separated cream. - **Add sugar gradually:** Incorporate the sugar slowly while beating to prevent the cream from becoming too sweet or grainy. - **Beat until soft peaks form:** The whipped cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters, but it should still be soft and fluffy. If you over-beat, the cream will become stiff and grainy. - **Chill before using:** Once whipped, chill the cream for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours to help it set and firm up. - **Use fresh cream:** Fresh cream yields the best results. Avoid using cream that has been sitting in the refrigerator for more than a week. - **Adjust sweetness to your preference:** The amount of sugar can be adjusted to suit your taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed. - **Flavor variations:** Experiment with different flavorings such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or cocoa powder to create various flavored whipped creams. - **Garnish and serve:** Use a piping bag or spoon to create attractive swirls or dollops of whipped cream on desserts, beverages, or fruits.Conclusion:
Sweetened whipped cream is a versatile and delicious topping that elevates cakes, pies, and various desserts. With the right technique and a few simple tips, you can easily prepare smooth, fluffy whipped cream at home. Remember to use chilled ingredients, beat gradually, and avoid over-beating. Feel free to experiment with different flavorings and garnishes to create unique and delectable whipped cream variations. Indulge in the delightful experience of freshly whipped cream and enjoy its sweet and creamy goodness.
