Whipped Cream

Most everyone I know grew up on cool whip or redi-whip.  I did too.  But now, I find it easier and infinitely better to make homemade whipped cream.  Especially once I made my own vanilla.  Hello, burbon vanilla whipped cream, ya'll!!!

I also tend to like my whipped cream not too sweet.  Mostly because I'm usually putting it on top of something sweet already :)  So here's my favorite version of whipped cream.

Ingredients:

1 cup heavy cream

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

1 Tbsp powdered sugar

1.  About 10 mins prior to making, place your bowl in the freezer.

2.  Mix all ingredients together in freezer chilled bowl.

3. Using whisk attachment, beat mixture on high til stiff peaks form.
