Ingredients
  

  • 1 pint (2 cups) heavy whipping cream cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch kosher salt to enhance sweetness

Instructions
 

  • Hold off for a moment—cold steel makes for a stable whip.
  • You’ll see the liquid’s slight sheen—this is where the magic starts.
  • Whisk until soft peaks form. You want the cream to billow just enough that the whisk leaves a gentle trail.
  • Continue beating until mixture thickens.
  • Whisk until stiff peaks hold their shape.
  • Add sugar as needed. Whisk briefly to combine.
  • Use as a topping for pies, fruits, cakes, or puddings.

Notes

Store whipped cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. If it starts to separate, whisk before serving. Freeze for longer storage.
