Ingredients:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold, at least 36% fat)
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Place your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before starting to ensure the equipment is thoroughly chilled.
  2. Pour the cold heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract into the chilled mixing bowl.
  3. Start the mixer on low speed to incorporate the sugar and prevent splashing.
  4. Once small bubbles begin to form on the surface, increase the mixer speed to medium-high.
  5. Whisk until the cream reaches stiff peaks, which is when the cream stands straight up when the whisk is lifted. The texture should be smooth and matte.
