Vanilla Whipped Cream

Sometimes the simplest things are the most delicious. I don't have too much of a sweet tooth, but when I get a sugar craving, one of my favourite things to indulge in is a little whipped cream on my latte or on fresh berries. I don't like the stuff you get from a can - the taste and texture aren't as rich as the real thing. I like my whipped cream with a touch of vanilla. Simple and so good.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of cold heavy cream (35%)
• 1 teaspoon of white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of real vanilla extract

Whisk the cream, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl until stiff peaks form. If you are using a hand blender with a whisk attachment, use a bigger bowl so it doesn't splash everywhere and put it on the lowest setting - it can make a bit of a mess otherwise (I speak from experience). This makes about one cup of whipped cream.
