Description
This is a simple recipe for homemade whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, cold (make sure it says heavy on the packaging)
- 1 tablespoon full-fat cream cheese, softened (from a block. Not whipped tub, low fat or fat free)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl on medium-high speed (with whisk attachment if using a 5 quart stand mixer), beat the heavy cream and cream cheese until it starts to thicken, about 1 minute.
- This recipe makes a small batch, you don’t want your bowl larger than 5 quart. If needed, use a small bowl with a handheld mixer or double the recipe for a larger bowl.
- Gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla then continue beating until stiff peaks form (when you pull the beater up, peaks will form and not fall over), about 3-4 minutes.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The longer it sits, the more it’ll deflate but will still be edible.
Notes
- For best results, use cold ingredients.
- Can easily be doubled for larger servings.
