A simple and quick recipe for homemade Chantilly Cream, also known as whipped cream, made with heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Perfect for topping desserts or adding a creamy touch to your favorite treats.

Ingredients

Scale

Chantilly Cream Ingredients

  • 240 mL heavy cream (ideally 35% fat or higher, 1 cup)
  • 25 g sugar (about 2 tbsp, adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Chill the ingredients and equipment: Ensure the heavy cream is well chilled. For best results, chill the mixing bowl for 15 to 30 minutes, especially in warm climates.
  2. Combine ingredients: Pour the chilled heavy cream into the mixer bowl, then add sugar, sea salt, and vanilla extract.
  3. Start whisking: Use a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment to begin whipping the cream.
  4. Control the whisking speed: Whisk the cream on low to medium speed for small amounts (1-3 cups), or medium-high speed for larger quantities (4 cups or more) to avoid deflation.
  5. Monitor consistency: Frequently check the cream’s texture as it thickens and progresses through whipping stages.
  6. Identify soft peaks: At this point, peaks will droop completely when the whisk is lifted, forming soft, gentle folds.
  7. Scrape the bowl: Use a spatula to fold the cream evenly by scraping down the bowl sides if needed.
  8. Whip to mid peaks: Continue whisking until the cream forms peaks that fold over at about 90°, with visible tips.
  9. Switch to manual whisking: To gain control and prevent overwhipping, finish whisking by manually stirring with the whisk attachment or a wire whisk.
  10. Achieve stiff peaks: Whisk further until creamy smooth stiff-ish peaks form, bending between 45° and 90° without breaking.
  11. Stop whisking: Halt whisking at this point to prevent overwhipping; the cream will continue to thicken as handled.
  12. Use immediately: For best texture and fluffiness, use the Chantilly cream right after preparation.

Notes

  • Make sure all equipment and ingredients are chilled to achieve best whipping results.
  • Adjust sugar quantity according to sweetness preference.
  • The pinch of sea salt enhances the flavor but is optional.
  • Overwhipping can turn cream into butter, so monitor carefully when whisking.
  • Whipped cream is best used fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours.
