Step 1

Make sure the heavy cream and your tools are cold. I suggest placing your mixing bowl and whisk attachment (if using a stand mixer) or beaters (if using a hand mixer) in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.

Step 2

Add heavy cream, sugar and vanilla to the chilled mixing bowl and beat together starting on low speed and ending on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should only take about 1-2 minutes. Be sure to not overmix!

Step 3

Serve immediately or store the whipped cream in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
