  • 2-4 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp flavoring vanilla, almond, etc.

Equipment

Method
 

  1. The secret to PERFECT whipped cream? Place your bowl and beaters in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before using. I prefer using a glass or metal bowl.
  2. Pour cream into bowl. Mix until cream forms soft peaks.
  3. Add 2 Tbsp powdered sugar. Add more to taste.
  4. Add flavoring. Most people use vanilla when making whipped cream. I LOVE using almond extract. It makes the whipped cream feel a little more special and really takes the flavor "up a notch."
  5. If you want to be even a little MORE fancy, place the whipped cream in an icing bag and use a tip to create perfect swirls. No bag? No problem! Place the whipped cream in a zip loc pac, snip the end and create your swirl.
