Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream or heavy whipping cream, cold
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

• Pour the cold heavy cream into a mixing bowl, then add the sugar and vanilla extract.
• Use a handheld or stand mixer with a whisk attachment and whip on medium-high speed.
• Continue whipping for 3–4 minutes until medium peaks form — the cream should be smooth, fluffy, and slightly droopy when the whisk is lifted.
• If the cream becomes over-whipped, add a splash of heavy cream and gently fold to fix the texture.
• Use immediately or refrigerate until needed.
