I made these for my cousin's graduation party...needed 6 dozen cupcakes! But I whipped them out like a champ! I mean besides the miscalculation that ended up with me having twice as many cupcakes as I needed! Oh, well, more for me!

Ingredients
- 3 cups heavy or whipping cream
- 5 Tbs. granulated sugar
- 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
- Chill the bowl and whisk attachment of a stand mixer for 20 min. in the refrigerator or 5 min. in the freezer.
- Pour the heavy cream into the bowl and whisk on medium-high speed until it just starts to thicken.
- Slow the speed down to medium and gradually pour in the sugar.
- Continue to whisk until soft peaks form.
- Add the vanilla extract and continue to whisk by hand until the cream is smooth, and stiff peaks form.
This recipe was super easy! You could add a few more Tablespoons of sugar if you wanted. It wasn't too sweet as it is.
