WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

Ingredients needed to make whipped cream.

Heavy cream — it is vital that you use heavy cream with a fat content over 35% to ensure that the whipped cream will thicken. The higher the percentage, the better! You also need to make sure the heavy cream is cold so if you’ve left the cream out to cook with, pop it back into the fridge before you start whipping. 

Powdered sugar — also labeled as icing sugar or confectioners’ sugar, you’ll need this as a sweetener. I prefer powdered sugar to granulated sugar as the cornstarch in the sugar helps stabilize the cream. Feel free to add more if you’d like it to be sweeter.
