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:
- 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.
- In the chilled mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Add 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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!
Vanilla cream easy dessert FAQ:
This Vanilla Cream Easy Dessert doesn't require baking. It’s a no-cook dessert that is prepared by whipping cream with sugar and vanilla extract.
Watch for soft peaks after about 2-3 minutes of whipping. Continue until stiff peaks form, where the peaks stand straight up and hold their shape. Avoid over-whipping, as this can turn the cream into butter.
Store any leftover dessert in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. The whipped cream is best consumed soon after making it, as it may lose its texture over time.
For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy whipping cream with a coconut cream or a non-dairy whipped topping. However, this will alter the taste and texture of the dessert.
You can garnish the Vanilla Cream Dessert with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce to enhance its flavor and presentation.
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.
