- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Optional Flavor Additions
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon almond extract

Equipment Needed

Instructions
Step 1: Chill the Equipment
For the best results, place the mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer for about 15 minutes before you begin. Cold equipment helps the cream whip more quickly and creates a lighter, fluffier texture.
Step 2: Add the Ingredients
Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if using.
