Step 1

Add heavy whipping cream to bowl and beat by hand with a whisk, or use an electric mixer. If using an electric mixer, beat on medium to medium-high speed (I use speed setting 6 on my kitchenaid).

Step 2

Once mixture starts to thicken, add sugar and vanilla.

Step 3

Continue to beat for a few more minutes to soft, medium, or hard peaks per your preference.

Step 4

Use immediately for best use, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for several days.
