Instructions
1
Place the heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or a medium bowl and a standard mixer.
2
Begin mixing on low speed until the cream thickens slightly to prevent splattering.
3
Increase the speed to medium high once the cream has become bubbly and slightly thickened.
4
Stop the mixer occasionally and dip the whisk attachment into the cream to check the consistency to prevent over whipping. Once soft peaks have formed, it will only take a short time to achieve medium peaks.
5
PRO TIP: Once medium peaks have formed as shown in Figure 4, begin whisking by hand to achieve the desired consistency. This will only take a few strokes but it will give you more control and prevent over whipping.
6
If serving immediately, beat or whisk until stiff peaks form. If you're making the whipped cream in advance, under whip to medium peaks as the cream will separate and require a bit more whisking before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Your Bowl and Beaters ❄️Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes before whipping to achieve faster, more stable peaks and prevent the cream from turning into butter.
- Use Cold Heavy Cream 🥶Keep your heavy whipping cream at 35-40°F for optimal whipping results; cold cream incorporates air more efficiently and creates fluffier, more voluminous whipped cream.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla at the Right Time ✨Add sugar and vanilla extract when soft peaks just begin to form (not at the start), allowing the cream to whip properly before sweetening prevents over-beating and ensures silky texture.
- Stop Before Stiff Peaks 🎯Whip only until medium peaks form when the cream holds its shape but still has a slight wobble; over-beating creates grainy, butter-like texture that's impossible to fix.
- Make It Fresh, Right Before Serving 🕐Whip your cream within 2 hours of serving for the best taste and texture; homemade whipped cream doesn't keep as long as commercial versions due to lack of stabilizers.
