Equipment

  • Kitchen Scale (optional)
  • Hand Mixer

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream 454 grams (35% fat)
  • cup powdered sugar 35 grams
  • 1 tablespoon dry vanilla instant pudding mix 10 grams
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams

Instructions

  • Place a large mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes.
    a bowl of flour and a bowl of powder.
  • Place all ingredients into the chilled bowl and beat on high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
    2 cups heavy whipping cream, ⅓ cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon dry vanilla instant pudding mix, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    a bowl of frosting and cupcakes.

Notes

This recipe yields about 4 cups of stabilized whipped cream.
  •  For every 1 cup of heavy cream, you can expect to get 2 cups of whipped cream!
  • Make sure both the mixing bowl and the beaters are extremely cold!
  • If you live in a hot/humid climate, you may wish to place a bowl of ice water under the bowl of whipping cream to help keep it cold.
  • While you can use a stand mixer, I recommend using a hand mixer for the most control.
  • If your whipped cream is not coming to stiff peaks, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then try again.
  • Adding more pudding mix will NOT stabilize the whipped cream more, and it will NOT taste good!
  • Overwhipping the cream will lead to separation of the cream into buttermilk and butter. 
  • You can add this whipped cream to a piping bag and pipe it on your favorite desserts!
  • Do not leave stabilized whipped cream out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Storage: Store stabilized whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
