Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
Instructions:
- Chill the Bowl and Whisk: Place your mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This helps the cream whip up more quickly.
- Prepare Strawberries: While the bowl and whisk are chilling, wash, hull, and finely chop the fresh strawberries. You can mash them slightly with a fork if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Whip the Cream: Take the chilled bowl and whisk out of the freezer. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the bowl. Whisk on medium speed until it starts to thicken.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream. Continue to whisk on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the whipped cream.
- Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Strawberry whipped cream is perfect for topping cakes, cupcakes, pancakes, waffles, or simply enjoying on its own.
Enjoy your homemade strawberry whipped cream!
