Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients into a cold metal bowl.

  2. Beat it with a large balloon whisk by hand (3-5 minutes) or an electric beater (2 minutes). Whip mixture until the cream leaves ribbons and traces through the cream.

  5. Taste and add additional powdered sugar or optional flavorings. (See notes below).

Recipe Notes

To stabilize chantilly cream:

  1. Use an electric mixer.
  2. Whip ⅓ cup mascarpone cheese for every 1 cup heavy whipping cream, until loose and spreadable.
  3. Add heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla, and beat on medium until it starts to thicken.
  4. Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue to beat until soft peaks form.

Optional Flavorings

  • Liqueurs
  • Seeds from a vanilla bean
  • Fresh mint
  • Orange zest
  • Flavored extracts
  • Instant coffee
  • Cocoa powder
