Whipped Cream

Do NOT buy whipped cream in a can.  Makes me shudder just thinking about it.  Homemade whipped cream is so easy and satisfying.  Keep whipping cream in your fridge you never know when you need a fresh batch of whipped cream... (hot chocolate, pancakes, waffles, ice cream, pie, fruit...or just with a spoon...just kidding...I never do that...)

Fresh Whipped Cream

1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Put all ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer.  Mix on medium low until cream is frothy, and sugar has dissolved, then increase speed to high.  Mix until soft peaks form.  The cream needs to be thick and fluffy, not runny, soupy (undermixed) or solid and buttery (over mixed).  It's ready!  See, that was easy... don't eat it all in one sitting.
