Directions
- 1
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachments in the freezer for 15 minutes before starting — cold equipment is the key to stable whipped cream.
- 2
Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl, add the milk powder and sifted powdered sugar.
- 3
Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the cream starts to thicken and increase in volume.
- 4
Add the vanilla extract and stabilizer, then increase to high speed and beat until stiff peaks form and the cream holds its shape.
- 5
Use immediately or transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
Add the powdered sugar gradually in two or three additions while beating for a smoother result. Stop beating as soon as stiff peaks form — over-beating will turn your cream into butter.
