🛒 Ingredients

2 servings

2
  • 250 ml very cold whole milk
  • 300 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pastry emulsifier
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or flavor of your choice)

Directions

  1. 1

    Chill the milk in the freezer for 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before starting — the colder the milk, the better the result.

  2. 2

    Pour the cold milk and granulated sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand mixer. Beat on high speed for 3–4 minutes until the mixture begins to foam and increase in volume.

  3. 3

    Add the pastry emulsifier and vanilla extract without stopping the mixer, then continue beating for another 5–7 minutes until the cream is thick, firm, and resembles traditional whipped cream.

  4. 4

    Use immediately to top your favorite desserts, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.

💡 Chef's Tip

The key to a stable result is using milk that's as cold as possible. Swap vanilla for chocolate, lemon, or strawberry extract to match any dessert.
