What You’ll Need

• Heavy whipping cream (36% fat or higher)
• Powdered sugar
• Vanilla extract

How to Make Chantilly Cream

• Combine the ingredients. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
• Whisk. Start mixing them with the whisk attachment at high speed. Bubbles should appear before becoming thick and frothy. Whisk until you get soft peaks. Be careful not to overmix.

Recipe Tips

• Use full-fat cream- Make sure to use the 36% or full-fat heavy cream to get the right thickness and texture to your Chantilly cream.
• Mix in a large bowl- Since the heavy cream will almost double in size and also splatters, use a large bowl when mixing it with a hand mixer.
• Add sugar to your preference- You can increase or decrease the amount of powdered sugar in this recipe depending on how sweet you want it.
• Don’t overmix– If you mix your Chantilly cream too long, it will eventually turn into butter. Only mix until soft peaks form.

Add-ins and Substitutions

• Substitute another flavor- Instead of vanilla extract, try lemon, rum, strawberry, or any other extract for a different flavor.
• Add liqueurs- You can also try this recipe with Irish cream added for an adult version.
• Add vanilla bean- Really up the vanilla flavor by adding vanilla bean to this Chantilly cream.
• Try it vegan- You can also make this recipe with full-fat coconut milk for a vegan alternative. The texture may be a little different though.
