Vanilla Whipped Cream

Just a quick but necessary recipe post. Everyone should make their own whipped cream. I mean everyone.


So deliciously sweet and simple. I brought it to one of my roommates over top of lime Jell-O and he said he'd rather have a bowl of the whipped cream alone.


Yes. It's that good.



Lime Jell-O+vanilla whipped cream+Prince Caspian DVD=best Wednesday night ever.



Vanilla Whipped Cream:

1 pint whipping cream
1 1/2-2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

In a large bowl mix whipping cream and vanilla. Add the powdered sugar in batches, beating on medium-high speed in between additions. Be sure to taste it while it's still in liquid form; once it starts forming peaks you won't really be able to sweeten it. Continue mixing on medium-high speed (for a long, long time *cough*) until whipping cream becomes solid and forms peaks.

Serve over top of nearly any dessert! It's also delicious on cakes as a substitute for frosting!
