Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Put the bowl and the whisk into the freezer or refrigerator for 10-15 minutes
  • In the bowl of a electric mixer fitted with the wire whisk attachment or a large bowl using a hand held electric mixer, add in the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Beat on slow speed and move up to medium speed until it starts thickening.
  • Continue beating for 1-2 minutes, until soft peaks form. You can check peaks by removing the whisk attachment and check the whipped cream on it. If it barely holds its shape it is a soft peak. 
  • You want at least medium peaks, so continue beating until it gets a bit thicker. You can quickly take it up to high speed but don't leave it there long. Medium peaks hold their shape pretty well but the tip of the peak will curl over itself.
  • If you want it a bit firmer continue beating until you get stiff peaks, but may run the risk of over beating. This is where things get tricky, so pay very close attention. 
  • Use immediately or store in the fridge covered with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

Notes

  • Use very cold cream. Make sure to leave your heavy cream in the refrigerator until right before you are ready to use it.
  • Freeze items needed. Place the metal bowl and whisk in the fridge or freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Try vanilla paste. Use vanilla paste instead of vanilla extract.
  • Sweeter cream. I like to keep the sugar levels a little lower in my whipped cream, but if you want to make it sweeter you can add up to 1/2 cup of sugar.
  • Leftovers. Whipped cream will last for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
