Equipment
- Stand mixer or hand mixer
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1-2 tbs maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the heavy whipping cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a cold mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Using a electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium speed with the whisk attachment until soft peaks begin to form.
- Continue mixing until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix or you will end up making maple butter instead. While that sounds delicious too, it is probably not what you were going for.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Start with cold heavy cream and a cold mixing bowl.
- Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor
- Mix on medium speed instead of high for a more stable whipped cream.
- Watch closely as it thickens. It can go from perfect whipped cream to butter surprisingly fast.
- For the fluffiest texture, serve shortly after making.
