Ah, whipped cream. That magical concoction that adds an element of heaven to almost any already delicious dessert. Fresh fruit, cakes, pies, ice cream, cookies, hot cocoa, milkshakes...the possibilities are endless. Since I typically strive for healthy options, I prefer my whipped cream with fruit (mangoes pictured here).
Also, do you know how easy it is to make your own whipped cream? You just need to be a little patient holding your electric beaters. (If you have a stand mixer, there is really no excuse.) I don't think I'll ever buy Cool Whip again. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever purchased Cool Whip, but you get what I'm saying, right?

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon confectioner's sugar (granulated sugar works great too)
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Add vanilla and sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat as cream will then become lumpy.
Serve with anything sweet, or dip your finger in and lick right off your finger.

I love homemade whipped cream. The only thing I don't like about it... it doesn't keep very well. But it is definitely the best tasting :)
