Directions
- 1
Place your mixing bowl and whisk attachments in the freezer for 15 minutes before starting — cold equipment is the key to success.
- 2
Pour the very cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl, then add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and pinch of salt.
- 3
Beat on medium speed for 1 minute to gently combine all ingredients.
- 4
Increase to high speed and continue beating for 1 to 2 minutes more, watching the texture closely.
- 5
Stop as soon as soft, glossy peaks form — the cream should hold its shape without being grainy.
- 6
Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
💡 Chef's Tip
Over-whipping is the only real risk here: a few seconds too long and the cream turns into butter, with no way back. Keep your eyes on the bowl and stop the moment those peaks hold their shape.
