Ingredients

1 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)

3 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions

Chill Your Tools: Place a mixing bowl and whisk (or beaters) in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before starting to ensure everything is cold.

    Combine Ingredients: In the chilled bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream, followed by the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

      Whip It Up: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, start whisking the mixture. Continue whipping until soft peaks form, which should take about 2-4 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can turn the cream grainy.

        Taste and Adjust: Once you reach soft peaks, taste the cream for sweetness and vanilla flavor. Add more sugar or vanilla if desired, and whip for a few seconds more to incorporate.

          Serve or Store: Serve immediately as a topping for desserts like cakes, pies, and ice cream, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
