How to Make Whipped Cream

Directions

Place a large bowl on top of a bag of frozen vegetables. Pour cold heavy whipped cream in the cold bowl. I use a hand whisk because it's easier to control how thick my whipped cream becomes. If you use a hand mixer, start at a low speed, and increase it as the cream thickens. Commence whipping.

Once the cream has thickened, but is not quite to soft peak stage, add the sugar. Continue whipping.

Continue whipping until the cream is just about as soft or as stiff as you want it, then add the vanilla extract .

Whipped cream is best if used right away. If you need to save it, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator; you may need to re-whip slightly just before serving. .
