Description
Chantilly Cream is a classic French dessert topping made by whipping cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. It is smooth, light, and perfect for enhancing the flavor and texture of cakes, pies, and fresh fruits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place a large mixing bowl in the refrigerator to chill or use a pre-chilled bowl. Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into this bowl.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken slightly.
- Once the cream starts to thicken, add the powdered sugar and pure vanilla extract to the bowl.
- Increase the mixer speed to high and continue beating the mixture until soft peaks form.
- Stop whipping as soon as soft peaks are achieved to avoid forming butter.
- Use the Chantilly cream immediately as a topping or refrigerate it until ready to serve.
Notes
- Serve with cakes, pies, or fresh fruits.
- Best used immediately for optimal texture.
