Vanilla Whipped Cream

Sometimes, a girl wants whipped cream. Light and fluffy, it makes any dessert extra special. When I was working in my parents’ catering business, I learned that Vanilla Whipped Cream makes desserts extra extra special. That’s a chef’s secret that I am sharing with you.

Now that we eat keto, Sam and I have whipped cream more often. My sugar free recipe adds much-needed fat to my daily macros. I daresay my Vanilla Whipped Cream makes desserts extra extra extra special. Put it on your berries and your cakes for an instant gourmet upgrade.

PREP: Less than 5 minutes
COOK: No cooking

INGREDIENTS

1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Bean Extract

DIRECTIONS

Place heaving whipping cream into a tall vessel.
Beat with an immersion blender for 1 minute.
Add Pure Vanilla Bean Extract and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Use immediately or store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

YIELD : 16 servings

NOTES

Sometimes, I substitute coconut or almond extract for the vanilla to change up the flavor.
Other times, I make it without any extract for less sweetness.
Want it sweeter? Add a tablespoon of allulose at the same time as the vanilla extract.
