Homemade Whipped Cream
This is basically foolproof and takes ~3 minutes to make. I always keep heavy cream on hand because it's useful for so many things, and honestly this beats store-bought every time.

Ingredients
Ingredients (~3 cups whipped cream)
- 2 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream chilled
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cooling/Resting Time: 0 minutes
- Add chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a large bowl or stand mixer bowl.
- Whip on medium-high speed until moderate peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
- Cream is ready when it holds its shape for 30 seconds after lifting the whisk.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 24 hours.
- If separated after storing, whisk briefly by hand to recombine.
Notes
Do not overwhip or cream will turn to butter.
