Does anyone know a homemade whipped cream recipe, I lost mine?

Question

I was wondering if anyone knew a easy, less than 15 min. whipped cream recipe with heavy cream. I have the heavy cream but I lost the recipe for it. I think it has sugar and vanilla in it but I dont know the instructions for it. A different recipe would do to.

Answer 1

Take ~1 cup of heavy cream and ~2 Tbs of sugar and whip. I use a stand mixer - it's easy. You can use a bowl and a whisk, but it's hard work (unless you're Popeye).

Adding vanilla is ok, but I generally don't go to the trouble.

Answer 2

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Pour the cream into a well-chilled bowl and add the sugar and vanilla. Using an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk, beat the cream to the desired consistency. For soft peaks, the cream will be just thick enough to hold its shape in soft billows. For stiffly beaten cream, the beaters or whisk wires will leave distinct traces on the cream and stand in firm peaks when the beaters are lifted.

Answer 3

"Sweetened Whipped Cream" - 4 cups

2 cups heavy cream; chilled
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

In small bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat cream until soft peaks form; gradually sprinkle in sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, until stiff peaks form. Fold in vanilla. Refrigerate until serving time.

Answer 4

It's real dang easy. Just whip the cream until it's somewhat set up. Then blend in the sugar or Splenda to taste and then add the vanilla, also to taste (we don't normally add vanilla but you can).

Answer 5

Here's complete information on how to do it correctly along with several tips. If you're going to use it to top desserts you want it stablilized so it doesn't lose it's consistency, getting runny and losing it's firmness. That is done by adding a little unflavored gelatin. Powdered sugar also works but not quite as well. It's a tip well worth remembering.
