Vanilla whipped cream is the ultimate touch to elevate your ice cream. Light, sweet, and delicately flavored with vanilla, it pairs wonderfully with chocolate, fruit, or even coffee ice cream. Here's how to easily make it at home.
Ingredients :
- 250 ml of very cold, full-fat liquid cream
- 2 tablespoons of icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or the seeds from one vanilla bean
Preparation :
- Prepare the cream.
Pour the heavy cream into a very cold bowl. For best results, place your bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes before starting; this helps the cream whip more easily. - Whip the cream.
Begin whipping the cream at medium speed until it thickens. When soft peaks begin to form, add the icing sugar and vanilla extract (or the seeds from the pod). Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as it could turn into butter if you go too far! - Use immediately.
Once ready, use your vanilla whipped cream right away to top your ice cream, or keep it in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
My Personal Tip:
This whipped cream is absolutely perfect on chocolate or berry ice cream. I also love it with caramel ice cream for a sweet and creamy contrast. If you want an even more indulgent treat, try adding chocolate chips or a few cookie pieces for a crunchy texture. It's a really simple topping, but it makes all the difference!
And there you have it, homemade vanilla whipped cream that will add a light and indulgent touch to your ice cream. A classic that always makes a great impression!
