¼
cup
confectioners’ sugar

Instructions
Chill a medium sized bowl (see note) and beaters for at least one hour in refrigerator or freezer.
Remove bowl and cream from refrigerator. Pour cream into chilled bowl.

Notes
Whipping cream will double in size when whipped, so use a large enough bowl. This recipe makes 2 cups of whipped cream.
Adding ¼ cup of full fat sour cream or whole milk Greek yogurt will help your whipped cream last longer in the refrigerator.
Double the recipe.
Use 2 cups of heavy cream with ½ cup of powdered sugar, and a bigger bowl.
