Things You'll Need

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1.5 tsp bourbon vanilla extract
• 1 tsp almond extract
• Glass mixing bowl
• Whisk

Instructions

1. First bring the heavy whipping cream to a chilled temperature as this will allow it to achieve better volume, and will make it more fluffy. The fluffier it is, the lighter it will taste, and that helps it to not linger on the pallet longer than it should.

2. Pour the whipping cream, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract into the mixing bowl. Put everything but the cream in first, and mix so that when the cream is put in, it instantly starts to incorporate all of the flavors evenly.

3. Begin to mix the ingredients, and work air into the cream by mixing with large strokes. This will incorporate the air, and create the needed volume. Do this for about 2-3 minutes depending on the speed that is reached while mixing (use a mixer if your arm gets tired, but take care, and use low speeds, as it may over whip the cream).

4. Place the bowl, and the finished product into the refrigerator to chill before serving. Once chilled, it is ready to serve. Great on cakes, as a dessert topping, for coffee, or chocolate, maybe even served with fresh fruit such as strawberries.

Tips & Warnings

• Food coloring can be added to make decorative changes, and to match whatever treat it is being used on, or with.
