Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan heavy whipping cream , such as Silk® Dairy-Free Heavy Whipping Cream Alternative
- 2 to 3 Tbsp granulated sugar , or a sugar of choice*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract , optional for more flavor
Instructions
- For best results, chill mixing bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes before whipping. Keep heavy cream cold in the fridge until then.
- Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled mixing bowl. If you're using a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment. You can also use a hand mixer with beaters.
- Add 2 Tbsp of sugar and vanilla extract
- Begin whipping the cream at low speed, gradually increasing to high as it thickens.
- Do a quick taste test and add more sugar if you want it sweeter
- Whip the cream until it thickens and reaches stiff peaks, or until the beater starts to leave tracks in the cream (see pics)Note: Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn into butter.
- Yields approximately 2 cups of whipped cream
How to Store
- If you have leftover whipped cream, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for 1-2 days. You may need to re-whip it for a few seconds to restore the desired consistency.
Notes
*For a lower carb option, replace sugar with a sugar-free substitute such as granulated monk fruit sweetener or erythritol. If using stevia powder, be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions.
You can also use 3 Tbsp of powdered sugar instead of 2 Tbsp of sugar in this recipe.
