Why This Recipe Works

We found that chilled heavy cream is easier to whip and get to peak-form more quickly than if left at room temperature. Just a bit of vanilla extract sweetens the whipped cream but doesn't make it cloying.

  1. Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip cream, sugar, and vanilla on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form, 1 to 3 minutes.
