Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

Pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the bowl.

Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the cream on medium speed.

Once the cream starts to thicken, increase the mixer speed to high.

Stop whipping when soft peaks form, about 2 to 4 minutes.

Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.

Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 hours.
