Sweetened Whipped Cream

• Heavy cream 1 cup
• Sugar 2 ¹/₂ tbl
• Vanilla extract 1 tsp

• Heavy cream - keep cold until ready to use — this is the little hinge that swings the big delicious door.

Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the cream forms very soft peaks (don't overbeat or the cream will be too firm), because this exact moment is where decent becomes dangerous. Serve.
