Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla ((optional))
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar ((optional - see note))

Instruction

  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
  • Place the cold heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar, (and vanilla and cream of tartar, if using) in the cold bowl, and with either a handheld mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat on medium speed to start and then increase speed to high until the cream has thickened and soft peaks form.
  • If you want to achieve stiff peaks, continue mixing for another minute or two until the whipped cream is stable enough to stand on its own. (Be very careful not to over-beat or it will become clumpy!)
  • Use to your desire and enjoy!To make stabilized whipped cream: the cream of tartar allows the whipped cream to hold its shape well and last a bit longer, without changing the taste at all.
