- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch salt
Place heavy cream in a medium bowl or stand mixer and whip on medium-high speed with a whisk attachment until it has reached the “soupy peaks” stage - the whisk will leave an impression in the cream and it will have increased in volume but not quite form peaks yet.
Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whip on medium-high speed until the whipped cream forms firm peaks - when you pull the whisk up out of the cream, you will see the “Dairy Queen swirl.” Be careful not to overwhip the cream.
