Foolproof Whipped Cream

 This recipe can be doubled or tripled, if desired.  Thanks to America's Test Kitchen for this easy yet delicious recipe

Using either a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, or a hand held mixer whip cream, sugar, and vanilla on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high and whip until just shy of either soft or stiff peaks (depending on desired final texture), 1 to 2 minutes.

Notes:

Chill the mixer bowl and whisk attachment, or the beaters if using the hand held mixer, in the freezer for 20 minutes before whipping the cream.
