Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment.1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1-2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract , 1 pinch salt
- Whisk over medium speed until soft peaks form. Taste and add more syrup or extract as needed.
- Continue whisking until stiff peaks firm. If you remove the mixer from the bowl, the peaks should stand up firm without collapsing. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pipe, spoon, or serve as desired!
Notes
Most whipped cream is served at stiff peaks. To tell if your whipped cream is at this stage, lift the whisk from the bowl. If the peaks stand straight up without curling over, it's ready.
Once your whipped cream starts to thicken up, slow down and watch carefully! If it starts to separate or split, it cannot be fixed and will turn into butter.
You can easily adjust the recipe to make however much whipped cream you need. Whipped cream typically doubles in volume, so if you add 1 cup of liquid cream, you get 2 cups of whipped cream.
