🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy whipping cream, very cold
  • 4 heaping tablespoons full-fat powdered milk
  • Sweetened condensed milk to taste (about 2–4 tablespoons)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Chill the heavy cream in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before whipping — the colder it is, the better it will hold.

  2. 2

    Pour the cold cream into a chilled mixing bowl. Add the powdered milk and start beating on medium speed until it begins to thicken.

  3. 3

    Increase to high speed and drizzle in the sweetened condensed milk one tablespoon at a time, tasting as you go to reach your preferred sweetness.

  4. 4

    Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and the cream holds its shape firmly when the beaters are lifted.

  5. 5

    Use immediately as a cake filling or piped decoration, or refrigerate in a covered bowl for up to 24 hours. Stir in cocoa powder, fruit coulis, or chocolate chips for creative variations.

💡 Chef's Tip

Powdered milk is the secret weapon here — it stabilizes the cream so it stays firm for hours without weeping. Make sure all your equipment and cream are well chilled for the best results.
