Chantilly Cream

Chantilly cream by any stretch of the imagination is just fancy whipped cream with vanilla added to it. But it's fancy because you whipped it yourself and it's not from a can (or a tub, for the love).


Oh and it's flecked and flavored with beautiful vanilla seeds

Chantilly Cream

• 1½ vanilla beans
• 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Split and scrape the vanilla beans. Drop the seeds into a chilled glass bowl with the cream and sugar. Whip the cream with an electric hand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Start low and gradually increase the speed to high as the cream thickens (to avoid splatter painting your kitchen with heavy cream). Beat for about 2 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat.
