Directions

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