Preparation
- Place your glass mixing bowl and stainless steel whisk in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to starting.
- Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the black seeds into the chilled heavy cream.
Whipping
- Sift the powdered sugar and salt into the cream. Begin whisking slowly to incorporate air.
- Increase whisking speed until the cream becomes thick and velvety. Look for a glossy sheen and tiny visible vanilla specks.
- Stop when you reach stable soft peaks; the cream should hold its shape on the whisk but the tip should gently curl.
Nutrition
Notes
Ensure the cream is at least 36% fat for best stability.
Sifting the sugar is vital for a glossy, smooth finish without lumps.
