🛒 Ingredients

4 servings

4
  • 1 cup (250 ml) very cold whole milk
  • 3/4 cup (100 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 packet whipped cream stabilizer (such as Whip-It or Wilton Stabilizer)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill them thoroughly — cold tools are the key to success.

  2. 2

    Pour the very cold milk into the chilled bowl, then add the powdered sugar, stabilizer, and vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Beat on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes until the mixture is thick, smooth, and holds firm, stable peaks.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate for 30 minutes before using to frost or decorate your desserts.

💡 Chef's Tip

Keep everything as cold as possible — milk, bowl, and beaters. The colder the setup, the better the whipped cream will hold its shape.
