Whipped Cream

What people call whipped cream really isn't.  Whipped cream is just that, cream that has been whipped, no flavorings added.  What people call 'whipped cream' is really called Chantilly Lace.  Sounds fancy and yummy!  Hehe! This is the equililant of one of those store bought Cool Whips, and SOO much better!

Ingredients:
1/2 c heavy cream
1/2 t vanilla
2 T powdered sugar

  

Directions:

1. Pour all ingredients into mixing bowl

2.  Whip until thickens and stiff peaks form.  NOT ANY LONGER!!  You'll make butter!~ But, you already know that from this post!

This is thickend liquid.

This is soft peaks.  The beater makes a mound as it comes out of the cream, but the peak immediately falls.

This is firm peaks.  STOP!

3. Put in the fridge, cool for at least an hour, serve.

VARIATIONS:

1.  Add 2 oz melted chocolate to cream, refridgerate for an hour, remove vanilla, continue with step 2.

2. Replace vanilla with mint, almond, or rootbeer extract!

3.  Replace vanilla with bourban, rum, flavored vodka, or, my favorite: TEQUILA!
