Be sure and use heavy whipping cream because it whips better and holds its shape longer than regular whipping cream. You can cook Whipped cream using 3 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook it.

Ingredients of Whipped cream

You need 1 cup of heavy cream.
Prepare 3 Tbs of powered sugar (or adjust to liking).
Prepare 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

Simply blend the cream and vanilla in a bowl, beating until foamy. Then add the powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Whipped cream goes from soft peaks to firm peaks to butter in the blink of an eye. For this reason, I usually whisk the cream by hand or use a hand mixer.
