- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters by placing them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before using.
- (A whisk attachment is preferable, but normal beaters work well too.)
- When ready, remove the bowl and beaters and pour in the cream and sugar.
- Using a mixer, begin by beating the cream on low speed for about 30 seconds (otherwise youll get splashed!).
- Then increase speed to high, continuing to beat until soft peaks form.
- (The cream will go through a few stages!
- First it will be totally liquid, then covered in a zillion bubbles as pictured below.
- Then finally it will begin to stiffen until soft peaks form.
- You can test this by just lifting the beaters up out of the cream.
- If the resulting peak has a top that bends over slightly, youve got it!)
- At this point feel free to briefly beat in an extra teaspoon or two of flavoring (vanilla extract, almond extract, etc.
- ), just until mixed through.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
- 1 cup of cream yields approximately 2 cups of whipped cream.
