How to Make Cream

 Making cream at home can be a bit tricky since traditional cream is derived from milk, but you can create a simple version known as "whipped cream." Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Chill Your Equipment
  1. Chill the bowl and beaters: Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This helps the cream whip better.

Step 2: Pour the Cream
  1. Add the heavy whipping cream to the chilled bowl.
