Cool Whhip

Servings 8 servings
Author Brandon Matzek

Ingredients

Equipment needed:

  • Stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment*
  • Wet measuring cup
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients needed:

  • 1 cup cold heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Using a wet measuring cup, pour heavy cream into the stand mixer.
  • Mix on medium speed until the cream just starts to thicken (beginning soft peaks). Add the sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Continue mixing on medium until the cream reaches stiff peaks. To test for stiff peaks, stop your mixer and pull the whisk straight up out of the cream. A peak will form and hold its shape straight up. You really need to pay attention here. Cream that is over whipped will have a grainy texture. Cream that is majorly over whipped will turn into butter.
  • Transfer cool whhip to a clean container. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Notes

* You can also use a hand mixer or plain old whisk to make cool whhip. I personally don't have the patience or fortitude to whip cream by hand, so I use a stand mixer.
