Steps
Place a medium-sized bowl (preferably metal) in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to chill.
Once bowl has chilled, remove from freezer and add heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using an electric mixer², beat ingredients on low speed, gradually increasing speed to high, and beat until stiff peaks form. Don't over-beat, but don't stop beating until cream has reached a thick, billowy consistency (think the thickness of Cool Whip).
Keep unused whipped cream refrigerated in an airtight container.

kamber on 2025-11-03 (5 stars): It was an utterly astonishing experience! I recently dove back into the world of baking and, in my excitement, completely overlooked the whipped cream. However, let me tell you, the final result was a delightful surprise—exceeding anything you could find at a store. Every bite was filled with warmth and flavor, and it filled my kitchen with an inviting aroma. Thank you for inspiring me to create such a wonderful treat!

Terrie on 2025-07-04 (5 stars): I don't use a lot of whipped cream, but wanted to make a 4th of July berrie dessert. and I prefer making my own over cool whip or a can. Perfect and so easy, gave my Son a taste and yep it's good..
Christopher Blue on 2025-06-14 (5 stars): Tastes great but for some reason it took a good 12 minutes to get soft peaks both times that I’ve made it. Perhaps humidity plays a part in that. Tastes wonderful
