Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar or fine granulated sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form. Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like.

Additional flavorings can be added instead of the vanilla extract. You can substitute any one of the following:

·         1 teaspoon lemon, almond extract

·         ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract

·         1 teaspoon cocoa

·         1 tablespoon of rum or Grand Marnier
