Ingredients

Directions

  1. Ensure the heavy cream, mixing bowl, and beaters are very cold; chill them in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
  3. Begin beating the cream on medium-high speed using an electric mixer or rotary egg beater.
  4. Once the cream begins to thicken and leave trails from the beaters, add the fine granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
  5. Continue beating until the cream forms stiff peaks and holds its shape when the beaters are lifted.
  6. Serve immediately or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 2-3 hours.
