Berries and Cream is a sorta, kinda healthy dessert, made with a few ingredients and even less time. Whip up homemade Chantilly cream today!
Equipment
- measuring cup
- measuring spoons
- large bowl - metal or ceramic to chill
- electric mixer or handheld mixer (whisking as last resort)
- Colander
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract Alternative: imitation vanilla
- 24 oz mix of berries (blueberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Instructions
- Just Chillin'. Start by chilling a metal or ceramic dish in the freezer, about 20 minutes. Include the mixing paddles or whisk as well.
- Measure. Once the bowl is chilled, measure and add to the bowl the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
- Slow Mixing. Using an electric mixer or handheld (what I use), mix the cream on a low speed for 3 minutes. I have 5 speed settings, so I mix the cream at speed level 1.
- Speed It Up. At the 3 minute mark, the cream should begin to thicken. Increase the mixing speed up a bit. I increase the speed from speed level 1 to speed level 2 or 3. Continue to mix for an additional 2 minutes.
- Berries. Rinse the berries in a colander. Divide the berries into four 6 oz servings. Top each bowl of berries with a generous 1/2 cup of freshly made whipped cream.
