INGREDIENTS
1 cup Land-O-Lakes Heavy Whipping Cream (nothing performed as good as L.O.L., boys.)
6 to 7 tbsp confectioners (powdered) sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
a dash of table salt [ A tip from a 40+ year server in the ATL. While I was at GSU (‘01 - ‘04), I met this guy here.]
a mixer + a METAL bowl (the bowl and mixer beaters should be ICE COLD.)
a spatula
INSTRUCTIONS
- For the best (fastest and thickest) results, prepare the following ingredients ahead of time so that they can be added to a FREEZING COLD mixing bowl without any delays:
- 1 cup of COLD heavy whipping cream
- 7 tbsp of confectioners (powdered) sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- a dash of salt
- First, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and dash of salt to an ICE COLD mixing bowl.
- The colder the dairy cream is, the easier and more successfully it will whip.
- Cold dairy cream also creates the lightest whipped cream!
- Start mixing at a low speed, and then increase the speed to gradually whisk the contents at the medium or even the highest speed.
- Don’t walk away!
- Whipped cream only takes a couple of minutes; it can take only seconds to transition from heavy dairy cream to eat-with-a-fork whipped cream.
- Stand by your mixer so you know when it’s ready.
- Don’t be afraid to stop the mixer and check the consistency of the whipped cream as you go.
- Run the electric mixer until, as stiff peaks begin to form, the whip cream is as thick as it is desired to be.

- Place the mixer bowl and whisk in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to chill.
- Pour heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla into the cold bowl and whisk on high speed until medium to stiff peaks form. This will take about 1 minute.
- Do not over beat.

- Before getting started, place your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer for about 10-15 minutes to chill. I usually place mine in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator or freezer.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using a hand-held mixer, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Start mixing on low speed, then increase the speed to medium-high until soft or stiff peaks form.

- Start with cold heavy cream.
- The colder the cream, the easier and more successful it will whip.
- Cold cream also creates the lightest whipped cream!
- Slightly warm or room temperature cream does not equate to whipped cream. If you’re ambitious, you could even chill the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla together on medium-high speed.
- This speed is perfect for whipped cream, which will whip air into the cream at a medium pace.
- I find that high speed easily over-whips cream and low speed under-whips cream.
- Don’t walk away!
- Whipped cream only takes a couple minutes, but it’s only a few seconds between soft whipped cream and over-mixed whipped cream.
- Overly mixed whipped cream is curdled and grainy.
- Soft whipped cream, the ideal sweet spot, has a billowy and smooth texture. Stand by your mixer so you know when it’s ready.
- Look for medium peaks.
- What are medium whipped cream peaks? When you lift the beaters or whisk out from the bowl, a slightly sturdy peak should form on them. The peak will slightly droop down, but not lose its shape entirely. It won’t be too soft and liquid-y, it won’t be heavy and curdled.
- Don’t be afraid to stop the mixer and check the consistency of the whipped cream as you go.
