Steps
Place a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer along with the beaters or whisk attachment in the fridge or freezer until well chilled, at least 20 minutes.
Add the cream, sugar (more or less, depending on how sweet you want it), and vanilla to the chilled bowl. Beat on medium speed until frothy and starting to thickened, about 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. (Do not walk away! The cream whips quickly and if over-whipped, will become curdled and lose its silky texture.)
Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag or spoon into a bowl for serving.

Bella Bontrager on 2020-09-16 (5 stars): Perfect! I added just a smidge more sugar and replaced the vanilla extract with strawberry extract. SO delicious!
Latifa on 2020-06-17 (5 stars): I tried this recipe and it tasted great. The texture is not what it’s supposed to be like. Any guesses on why or what I can do to fix that?
I’ve read that the % of fat in the cream makes a difference to the texture, could that be the problem?
Erin on 2020-06-15 (5 stars): Hi! Would it be okay if I will use all purpose cream? Thanks!
Ivy on 2020-06-07 (5 stars): Hi John! I made your whipped cream recipe to cover a Tres Leche cake and it was definitely the perfect choice. I was looking for a recipe that wasn’t too sweet for the cake and I’m extremely happy that I found yours! Thanks for sharing your recipes!
Jennifer on 2020-03-28 (5 stars): Thank you! I made it twice so far and will be making lots more. Absolutely delicious!
Laurie Jaekle on 2020-03-13 (5 stars): it's very good with candied ginger added - especially for pumpkin pie .
Errina on 2020-03-11 (5 stars): hi jhon . I'm your fan from indonesia , your recipe is very fantastic
Black Diamond on 2019-12-31 (5 stars): Thank you very much. I made your apple pie recipe with this whipped cream. I used the juice the apples cooked in to sweeten this whipped cream more.
Vicky on 2019-07-13 (5 stars): John you are a revelation! As a fellow Virgo I appreciate your attention to detail and clear explanatory notes.
We have a public open day at the Almshouses where I live. My dear little flat has a dear little oven so a 19x13 tin will not fit. Any suggestions for an alternative?
I have decided to use you as my go-to baking source because the vids are so well done.
Love & squeeziedoodles
