My homemade whipped cream recipe uses chilled heavy cream, white sugar, and a few dashes of vanilla extract.
The vanilla technically makes it a chantilly cream, which was invented in France during the 1800s. You can make make whipped cream without the vanilla, but I think it adds a nice flavor.
Using a figure-8 motion with your hand, you continually mix the cream and sugar to incorporate air into the cream. This takes about 5 minutes by hand, or you can use a mixer.
This keeps well in the refrigerator, and if it flattens down slightly, simply whisk it up again when you’re ready to use it. This goes really well on my Chocolate Haupie Pie!
