Directions
- 1
Chill your mixing bowl in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before starting — a cold bowl makes a huge difference in the final texture.
- 2
Pour the very cold milk into the chilled bowl, then add the sugar, emulsifier, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.
- 3
Beat on high speed for about 10 minutes, until the mixture triples in volume and holds stiff, stable peaks.
- 4
Use immediately as a topping or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
The colder the milk, the better the result. Swap vanilla for almond, coconut, or lemon extract to customize the flavor for different desserts.
