Ingredients
2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
a pinch of Salt
Instructions
Chill the equipment: Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes.
Combine ingredients: In the chilled bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Whip the cream: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, begin whipping the mixture on medium speed. Once combined, increase to high speed. Whip until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
Check the consistency: Continue whipping until you reach stiff peaks, being careful not to overmix.
Taste and adjust: Taste the frosting and add more powdered sugar or flavoring if desired.
Freeze for later use: Transfer it to an airtight container and freeze if not using immediately.
Notes
Use cold cream for better whipping. Avoid overmixing as it can turn the cream gritty.
