For best results, place your mixing bowl in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes before starting.
In your chilled mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Using either an electric mixer or standing mixer with the whisk attachment, mix on low to combine. Once combined, increase the speed to medium-high. Continue to mix for about 5 to 7 minutes to form soft peaks. Continue to mix if you want a firmer whipped cream with stiff peaks. Don’t overmix, as this can break up the smooth texture and start to form butter.
Serve whipped cream immediately on your favorite desserts or coffee drinks, or refrigerate in an airtight container for later use. Enjoy!
Notes
Store homemade whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best used within 24 hours; just whisk it lightly before serving if it’s been chilled.Using pre-chilled equipment maximizes the volume of whipped cream and creates the perfect texture.
