Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup chilled heavy cream
- 1.5 tablespoon confectioner's sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
- 1 lb fresh strawberries washed
Instructions
- Begin by pouring the chilled heavy cream into the bowl of your stand mixer, attaching the whisk attachment for the best results (refer to notes for more detail). Whip the cream on medium speed for about a minute until it starts to thicken.
- Once the cream begins to hold its shape, gradually add the confectioner's sugar and, if you choose, the vanilla extract. Continue whisking the mixture until firm peaks form, ensuring it holds a stable structure.
- Serve the freshly whipped cream immediately alongside the prepared strawberries, and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe doesn't account for the time needed to hull the strawberries. If you don’t have a stand mixer, an electric hand mixer or a regular whisk will work just as well, though whisking by hand will take a bit more time to achieve firm peaks.
