A quick and foolproof whipped cream recipe that takes just about two minutes to make, perfect for topping desserts, hot chocolate, or fresh fruit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (36% fat or higher)
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters or whisk attachment in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to help the cream whip faster and hold its shape better.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons (15 g) powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if using.
  4. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture for about 1-2 minutes until soft peaks form. If whisking by hand, whisk vigorously for 3-5 minutes.
  5. For firmer peaks, continue whipping for an additional 10-20 seconds, being careful not to overwhip.
  6. Stop whipping when the cream is smooth, fluffy, and light. Avoid overwhipping to prevent graininess or turning into butter.
  7. Use immediately or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Gently whisk before serving if stored.

Notes

Chilling the bowl and beaters helps the cream whip faster and hold its shape better. Avoid overwhipping to prevent the cream from turning grainy or into butter. Powdered sugar stabilizes the cream and dissolves quickly. For dairy-free, use chilled coconut cream and whip with extra patience. Variations include using maple syrup or honey instead of sugar, adding flavor extracts, or stabilizing with gelatin for longer hold.
