Directions
- 1
Place your mixing bowl and whisk attachments in the freezer for 15 minutes before starting — cold equipment is key to a perfect whip.
- 2
Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
- 3
Increase to high speed, gradually rain in the powdered sugar, and keep beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- 4
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt using a rubber spatula with slow, circular movements to preserve the airy texture.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a more stable whipped cream that holds for hours, add one tablespoon of mascarpone to the cold cream before whipping.
