How to make Chantilly cream
- Pour the cold cream into a large bowl or stand mixer and add the vanilla.
- Add one tablespoon of sugar at a time and mix gently until all the sugar is combined with the cream. (Adding the sugar bit by bit will prevent a sugar dusty mess).
- Turn your mixer to a high setting and whisk until the cream thickens and soft peaks start to form. ( This only takes a few minutes when using a stand or electric whisk)
- If you over-whisk and the cream is too thick just add in a little extra cold cream and continue to whisk slowly.
- The creme chantilly is now ready to be placed into a piping bag or served with your favorite dessert.
Notes
french whipped cream can also be whisked by hand. This will require some elbow grease and take a little longer.
Storage: Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days in advance. You may need to slightly whisk again if it loses its consistency.
Decorating or topping Pies - This recipe can be halved if you don't need the full amount and only require less cream to decorate the top of a pie.
