Homemade Chantilly Whipped Cream (better than store-bought!)

Molly LaFontaine
My sweetened vanilla whipped cream (aka Chantilly whipped cream) is made from scratch with 3 simple, wholesome ingredients! It makes 3 cups, the same amount as a Cool Whip bowl. It's got a fresh cream taste with a hint of vanilla and the perfect amount of sweetness. I use this whipped cream for everything! From waffles to my homemade trifles and tarts! I hope this recipe will replace store-bought whipped cream in your home like it has in ours!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 Tbsp pure cane sugar
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Add heavy whipping cream, cane sugar, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl.
  • Using a whisk attachment on a stand mixer or handheld mixer, whisk on high speed for 2 minutes or until stiff peaks form(when the whipped cream stays on the whisk and doesn't droop off). You can also do this with a hand held whisk.
  • Store in the fridge for 5-7 days. If it gets soft during that time just whip in a little extra cold heavy whipping cream. Enjoy!

Notes

If you're having trouble whipping your cream try placing the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. Very cold cream whips up easier.
Just note different heavy whipping cream brands whip up differently. Some take a little longer to whip up, others take a less time.
