📝 Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy cream (30–35% fat)
- ½ cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp mascarpone or cream cheese (for stability)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, extra stability)
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Chill Everything
- Place mixing bowl + beaters in the fridge for 15 minutes
👉 Cold tools = thicker, faster whipping
2. Start Whipping
- Pour cold cream into the bowl
- Beat on medium speed for 2–3 minutes
Until it becomes slightly thick and creamy
3. Add Stabilizers
Add:
- powdered sugar
- vanilla
- mascarpone (or cream cheese)
- cornstarch (optional)
4. Whip to Perfection
- Increase to medium-high speed
- Whip until stiff peaks form
👉 You’ll know it’s ready when:
- It holds shape like in your image
- Looks smooth, glossy, and thick
5. Final Texture Check
- Should be firm but silky, not grainy
- If too soft → whip 10–15 seconds more
- If overwhipped → add 1–2 tbsp liquid cream and gently mix
