So funny story. When Raelene and I first got married she was making whipped cream and I asked what she was doing. "Making whipped cream." "Hmpf. How do you make whipped cream?" "Uh, by whipping the cream." This may all seem rather intuitive, but I would like to think that the complexities of the English language and the fact that in my whole life I'd only ever had whipped cream from a can would excuse me. But in reality, I was an idiot. In any case, I've learned my lesson now and proper whipped cream is heavenly. We had some fresh strawberries, some cream left over from making ice cream, and suddenly - breakfast!
somebody has been eating my whipped cream!
Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons powdered sugar
Start whipping the cream in your Kitchenaid or other blender. Once it begins to set up an get fluffy, add the vanilla and sugar. Don't put the sugar in too early or it won't set up...and be careful - if you whip it too long, you'll end up with vanilla butter (hey, I should try that). I would never drink a cup of heavy cream, but eating it like this is sooooo easy, and yummy. Enjoy.
