Whipped Cream

Lynley Jones

So easy, so delicious... Why doesn't everyone make their own whipped cream?

Serve with Chocolate Pudding, Happy Apple Tart, hot chocolate, or about a million other delicious things.

Makes about 1 3/4 cups

Ingredients

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 Tablespoon sugar (or more or less to taste)

Optional (but usually delicious): 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.

2. Whip by hand with a whisk or with an electric mixer on medium speed (much easier), preferably fitted with a wire whisk attachment.  

3. For a classic French-style cream, whip until the cream forms soft peaks. For a more American-style result, whip a little further until you get stiffer, sturdier peaks. Do not over-whip, or you will end up with butter!
