Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cream should be chilled. If it's a hot day, you may want to chill your beater and your bowl too.
Step 2
If you have a kitchenaide mixer, use the wire beater, and don't use the highest settings. It's too easy to go right past perfect to over-whipped.
Step 3
Whip cream to desired consistency, not stiff like egg whites.
Step 4
Turn beater down to a lower speed and slowly stream sugar into whipped cream, then add vanilla and salt.
Step 5
Serve chilled.
Step 6
Note: For cake topping, use powdered sugar instead of granulated.
