Whipped Cream

By Coldsnap46

"How to make basic whipped cream. For best results make sure whisk and bowl are ice cold." --Paula

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form. Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like.

Note: Good Prep video for this recipe on website. Very helpful tips/suggestions from reviews of this recipe available on website. One reviewer stated in part: "...An easy way to get your whipped cream to stay fluffy is to bloom 1 teaspoon of unflavoured gelatin in 1 tablespoon of water then just add that to your whipped cream when you add the sugar. It will stay nice and fluffy for days! No more making whipped cream at the last possible second." *Most reviewers agreed-you'll never go back to store bought again!
