Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a large bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer with a whisk attachment to whip the cold heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together on medium-high speed.
Continue whipping until medium peaks form, which should take about 3–4 minutes. Be mindful that medium peaks sit between soft peaks and stiff peaks, ideal for topping desserts.
If the cream is over-whipped and appears curdled, add a little more cold heavy cream, folding it in gently by hand with a spatula until smooth.
Use the whipped cream immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Ensure the heavy cream is cold for best results when whipping.
Store whipped cream in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture for up to 24 hours.
Experiment with adding flavors like cocoa powder or different extracts for variety.
