Instructions

  1. Chill Equipment: Place a mixing bowl and beaters or whisk in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to chill.
  2. Whip Cream: Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Incorporate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.

  • To extend the whipped cream’s shelf life, mix in 1 tablespoon of instant pudding mix or 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
