Ingredients

  • cups Heavy Whipping Cream cold
  • ¼ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • In a large chilled bowl using a handheld mixer, or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add the cold heavy whipped cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Whip the heavy cream mixture on medium high speed for about 3-4 minutes, or until soft peaks, medium peaks or stiff peaks form*, depending on what you plan to use it for.
  • Use immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and chill for up to 24 hours. Enjoy!

Notes

*Beat the cream until it forms soft peaks if you want a dollop on top or alongside your pie.  Beat until it forms medium peaks or stiff peaks if you want to put it in a pastry bag and pipe it on your pie.
