Indulge in the rich and creamy delight of this simple yet decadent Vanilla Cream Dream Dessert. With just three ingredients, this dessert is quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion. Let's dive into crafting this dreamy treat!
Instructions:
1. Chill Your Equipment:
- Place the mixing bowl and beaters or whisk in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This step helps ensure that your cream will whip up more quickly and efficiently.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- In the chilled mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Add 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
3. Begin Whipping:
- Using an electric mixer set on medium speed, begin to whip the cream mixture. If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use a hand whisk, though it will take more effort and time.
4. Watch for Soft Peaks:
- Continue whipping the mixture until it begins to thicken. After 2-3 minutes, you should see soft peaks forming when you lift the beaters or whisk out of the cream. Soft peaks means that the cream holds a peak but the tip curls over.
5. Achieve Stiff Peaks:
- Keep whipping until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks mean that the peaks stand straight up when the beaters or whisk are lifted out of the cream and hold their shape firmly. Be careful not to over-whip, as this can turn the cream into butter.
6. Serve & Enjoy:
- Spoon the Vanilla Cream into serving dishes. This can be served immediately, or you can refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before serving if you prefer it chilled.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.
Tips:
- Ensure the heavy whipping cream is cold, straight from the refrigerator, for better whipping results.
- For added flavor, consider adding a dash of almond or hazelnut extract.
- Use chilled mixing bowls and beaters to help the cream whip faster and attain better volume.
- Don't overmix the cream as it can turn into butter. Stop whipping as soon as stiff peaks form.
- This dessert pairs wonderfully with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
The Vanilla Cream Easy Dessert is an effortless yet elegant way to end any meal. With its rich, creamy texture and delicate vanilla flavor, it is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy this delightful treat as-is or with your favorite toppings for an extra touch of indulgence!
