One of the quickest and easiest accompaniments to any dessert, this sweet vanilla Chantilly Cream takes just 3 ingredients and 3 minutes to make.
Chantilly Cream is something I’ve been making even before I knew what Chantilly Cream was! It was what we would always make to go with our puddings and scones. I thought it was just how you served cream!
Why You Will Love This Recipe
- 3 simple ingredients
- whips up in minutes
- it’s a stable that every dessert baker needs
- You can make my elevated version, White Chocolate Chantilly Cream -both are perfect dessert toppers!
Ingredients:
- heavy cream: also known as thickened cream. Use full fat
- caster sugar: superfine sugar for sweetness
- vanilla extract: for that delicious flavour -use as much as you like IMO
Step By Step Instructions
- Place the cream, caster sugar and vanilla into a medium mixing bowl
- Using an electric handheld mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk on medium-high until it forms soft to firm peaks (depending on how thick you want your cream)
- Be careful not to over whisk, as it can become grainy very quickly
- Use straight away, or store in the fridge, either in the bowl, covered with plastic wrap, or in an airtight container for up to 3 days (you may need to re whip it a little before using it)
Tips and Tricks
- Don’t over beat the cream -it will separate!
- Use a large bowl or jug to whip the cream, as it will double in size!
- An immersion blender works just as well, but may take less than 2 minutes to mix.
- Ingredients don’t need to be measured exactly and you can add more or less sugar or vanilla to taste.
- You can make an adults only version, by swapping the vanilla for Frangelico, Kahlúa, or your favourite liqueur (just add a tablespoon to the mix).
- Your whipped Chantilly Cream will keep in an airtight container and refrigerated for a week, which means you can make it ahead of time!
Serving suggestions:
- Chantilly Cream makes the best, simple dessert topper! I always top my Christmas Pavlova with it, and serve it as part of a Mini Pavlova Buffet
- Use it between layers of your Sponge Cake
- Top Toblerone Mousse and Pots de Crème with it
- Serve it alongside a hot Lemon Delicious
- Dollop some on you Pancakes or Scones
- There’s just so many delicious desserts to serve it with!
Storage
- Fridge: covered in plastic wrap, or in an airtight container for up to 3 days. It may need to be re whipped before using
