Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream chilled
4 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a stainless steel or metal bowl, combine all the ingredients.
With a hand mixer, beat the ingredients for 5-7 minutes straight, or until stiff peaks form.
Place in the fridge, covered, until needed.

Notes

Use a metal bowl - When you use a metal bowl, it allows the ingredients to stay chilled and it works with the process to make the best outcome for the recipe.
Use chilled cream - The colder your cream, the easier it will beat into stiff peaks. If it’s too warm, it might not set up right and be harder to thicken. Also, chilled cream works in connection with the metal bowl to make the best whipped cream recipe.
