Homemade whipped cream in a bowl

Prep: 5 minutes | Yield: About 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • � teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  3. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the cream on medium speed.
  4. Continue mixing until soft peaks form. The cream should be fluffy and hold its shape.
  5. Stop mixing as soon as the whipped cream thickens to avoid over-whipping.

Kid-Friendly Tips

  • Chill the bowl and beaters for faster whipping
  • Kids can watch the cream change from liquid to fluffy foam
  • Great science lesson on air being whipped into liquid

Serving Ideas

  • Top fresh fruit, waffles, or pancakes
  • Add to hot chocolate or cocoa
  • Use as a filling for parfaits or dessert cups

Notes

If the cream starts to look grainy, stop mixing immediately. Over-mixed whipped cream can turn into butter.
