4 Ways to Make Whipped Cream
our the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract into a large bowl, and whisk using a large balloon whisk. Whisk for approximately 3–5 minutes, until the cream reaches the soft peak stage. First you will notice the cream form large bubbles on top, then the bubbles will disappear and the cream will start to form ridges. You can test for soft peaks by lifting the whisk straight out of the bowl, inverting it, and seeing that a peak falls ever so slightly to the side. Enjoy! Whipped cream can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple hours. If you asked me what my favorite dessert is, I might just tell you that it’s a bowl of ripe berries or peaches with a HUGE dollop of whipped cream on top. So huge of a dollop that it might not even be called a dollop anymore. But the point is, the gloriousness of freshly whipped cream cannot be understated. It’s simple, has the most luxurious lightness to it, and boasts a heavenly sweet cream flavor that can’t be beat. © JOANNE OZU...
