Homemade Whipped Cream

It's easy to make homemade whipped cream. You only need three ingredients and about five minutes. (Plus a cold bowl!)

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 2 cups whipped cream

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream (heavy whipping cream)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chill a medium bowl in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in the bowl.

  2. Whip on high speed until thick, about two minutes for soft peaks. For stiff peaks, whip for about three to four minutes.

  3. Serve right away or chill until ready to serve. If whipped cream deflates before serving, re-whip for about 10 to 15 seconds.
