I will be making pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, and you cannot have pumpkin pie without whipped cream! Instead of using store-bought, I will be making the whipped cream myself. However, I often feel that the top recipes on Google are just the easiest, most mediocre ones that people review for convenience. I am willing to put in some extra effort if it means it will taste better. Any recommendations for a truly exceptional whipped cream recipe?

You can try the following recipe I got online and come back with the results:
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 1-3 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 teaspoon of high-quality vanilla extract (or seeds from 1 vanilla bean)
Instructions
- Chill a metal mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before starting.
- Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl.
- Start whipping the cream with a hand mixer on low speed, then gradually increase to high speed.
- As the cream starts to thicken, add the powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time.
- Add the vanilla extract and continue to whip until the cream forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overbeat, as it can quickly become buttery.
For an extra touch of luxury, you can infuse the cream with flavors like orange zest, a splash of bourbon, or a hint of cinnamon to complement your pumpkin pie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240ml) cold heavy cream (also known as whipping cream)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
Why is your recipe that much short?
