Chantilly Cream
Chantilly Cream, the sweetened version of whipped cream, is a luxurious and versatile addition to desserts, coffees, and more. Its light, airy texture and sweet flavor make it the perfect topping for cakes, pies, and fruit.
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Electric mixer or whisk
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar also known as confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract you can adjust this to taste
Instructions
- Chill the Equipment: Place a mixing bowl and whisk (or the beaters of your electric mixer) in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. This step helps the cream whip up faster and fluffier.
- Whip the Cream: Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Start whipping on medium speed with a hand mixer or stand mixer, or by hand using a whisk.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Once the cream begins to thicken (soft peaks start to form), gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to whip.
- Whip to Stiff Peaks: Continue whipping the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This means the cream will hold its shape when you lift the whisk or beaters out. Be careful not to over-whip, as this can turn the cream into butter!
- Serve: Chantilly cream is ready to serve! Use it as a topping for cakes, tarts, fresh fruit, or desserts like crêpes and waffles.
