⏤ The Story
Vanilla bean whipped creamis light, fluffy, and infused with a sweet vanilla flavor that takes any recipe over the top. All you need are four simple ingredients and a mixer, and it comes together in minutes!
Whipped cream with vanilla bean is one of the first things I ever learned how to make as a kid, and this recipe is still my go-to when I need a topping for beverages and desserts. Not only does it come together quickly, but I almost always have all the ingredients on hand.
Once whipped, the vanilla shines through beautifully, and the cream practically melts in your mouth with every bite. Store-bought whipped cream just can’t compete!
See the recipe card below for the complete ingredients list and instructions.
⏤ The Method
Step by step.
- 1
Add the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla bean paste, kosher salt to the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment.
- 2
Whisk on medium for 30 seconds.
- 3
Increase the speed to high and whisk for another minute, or until medium peaks form.
- 4
Transfer the whipped cream to a bowl. Zest the orange on top, and gently fold to combine, if desried.
- 5
Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
⏤ Chef's Notes
Note:I prefer to slightly underwhip my cream for a slightly softer consistency. However, if you want a firmer, more Cool Whip-like consistency, whip until hard peaks form, meaning the peaks of the whipped cream stand up straight and hold their shape.Storage:Store leftovers in an airtight container or covered bowl in the refrigerator up to four days. Whip again to freshen it back up, if needed.
