Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Make sure it's cold for better whipping.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional, but recommended for flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl and add the sugar and vanilla extract.
Whipping
  1. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  2. For firmer whipped cream, continue to whip until stiff peaks form but do not over-whip.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately or transfer to a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

For best results, keep all utensils cold. You can experiment with flavor variations like almond extract or cocoa powder.
