Brown sugar whipped cream adds a subtle caramel flavor to your favorite cakes and desserts. It’s quick and easy to make with just 3 simple ingredients and 5 minutes of your time.
Combine cream, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
3 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup heavy cream
Start whipping the mixture at low speed with a hand mixer or your stand mixer to prevent splattering. Gradually increase to medium-high speed. Reduce back to medium speed once medium peaks begin to form. You're not looking for stiff peaks! The cream should be firm enough to hold its shape but not over-whipped to maintain a smooth texture. Stop whipping just before you think it's done as it will thicken slightly afterwards.
Taste the whipped cream and adjust sweetness if necessary.
