For 1 serving

Ingredients

250 ml whipping cream (33–40 % fat, well chilled)
1–2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 packet whipped cream stabilizer (optional, for longer shelf life and firmness)

optional: a few drops of vanilla extract

Preparation procedure

Preparing the ingredients: Before you start, make sure the cream is well chilled – ideally at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. You can place the bowl and beaters in the freezer for a few minutes so the whipped cream stays as cold as possible.
Whipping: Pour the cream into a bowl, add the powdered sugar and, if using, the whipped cream stabilizer. Whip with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks begin to form. Then briefly continue whipping so the whipped cream attains a firm, glossy consistency, but don't overwhip it – otherwise it will start to separate and may curdle.
Flavoring: For a milder taste you can add vanilla extract or a drop of rum.
Usage: Use the finished whipped cream immediately to decorate cakes, cookies, pies, or dessert cups. If you don't want to use it right away, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Preparation time

Total time: approximately 10 minutes

Number of servings

From the given amount you will get approximately 400 ml of whipped cream, which is enough to decorate a small cake or 15–20 desserts.
