Whipped Cream

The difference between store-bought whipped cream and freshly whipped cream is astronomical. A great pairing for almost any dessert! I kept it simple and topped some blueberries with it, and finished it off with a light drizzle of honey.

Notes/Tips:

---

> The reason we freeze the electric mixer attachments and mixing bowl before starting is to keep the whipped cream as cool as possible. All that whipping introduces a lot of heat, and keeping the whipped cream cool helps it maintain its texture best.
> Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and vanilla as desired.
