Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Chill Equipment: Place a mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to whipping. Chilling the tools helps the cream whip faster and achieve better volume.
- Whip Cream and Sugar: Pour the heavy cream and granulated sugar into the cold mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously back and forth and front to back until the mixture holds stiff peaks, meaning the cream stands firmly when the whisk is lifted.
Notes
- Ensure the cream is cold before whipping for optimal results.
- You can substitute granulated sugar with powdered sugar or honey for different flavors.
- For flavored whipped cream, add vanilla extract or other flavorings before whipping.
- Use immediately or keep refrigerated and use within 24 hours for best texture.
