Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream cold
  • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar optional

Instructions

  • Place a bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
  • Using a hand mixer, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in the chilled bowl, on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks, about 2-3 minutes. (If you beat the cream too long you will end up with butter!)
  • Store in a covered container in the refrigerator, up to 2 days, until ready to use.
