Homemade Whipped Cream

This makes a lot of whipped cream (for Black Forest cake). Feel free to half the recipe if you don't need as much.
Course Dessert
Prep Time 3 minutes
Whipping time 5 minutes
Total Time 8 minutes

Ingredients

  • 500 ml Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 4 tsp Fine sugar can use granulated white sugar

Instructions

  • Use either a hand mixer or your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. You can do this by hand with a whisk, but it's going to take a while and you need to whisk fast!
  • Add all the ingredients into your bowl.
  • Start the mixer on low speed and gradually move up to the fastest speed you have. You want to get a lot of air mixed into your liquid. Don't start out at the fastest speed or you will end up with a huge mess all over the place.
  • Keep whisking until stiff peaks are formed. You will know the mixture is ready if you "dip" the whisk into the whipped cream and turn it over and the peak stays without collapsing.
  • **KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT IS HAPPENING OR IF YOU OVER-MIX, YOU WILL END UP WITH BUTTER**. If you whisk past the point of whipped cream, the mixture will start to separate and you will see liquid with clumps of what is turning into butter.
