  • Step 2

    Pour heavy cream over vanilla seeds. Add sugar and vanilla extract. Whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until serving.

    • Cook's Notes:

    For almond Chantilly cream, use 1/2 teaspoon almond extract instead of vanilla extract.

    Use regular white sugar instead of superfine sugar if desired.

    If you over-whip the cream and it becomes stiff, just add a bit more heavy whipping cream and whip softly by hand to reconstitute. You ain’t makin’ butter… rather a sweet cream.
