Zesty Vanilla-Brown Sugar Whipped Cream

1. Prepare Mixer and Combine Ingredients

Begin by preparing your stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Pour the chilled heavy cream, sour cream, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract into the bowl. Start the mixer at medium-low speed. This gentle beginning ensures that the ingredients mix evenly, creating a uniform base. You’ll notice the mixture becoming slightly foamy, which is a good sign that the ingredients are combining well.

2. Whip to Soft Peaks

Once the mixture is well-mixed and has a foamy texture, increase the mixer speed to medium-high. Continue whipping until you achieve soft peaks. Soft peaks are formed when the cream holds a peak for a moment before gently collapsing back into itself. This texture is perfect for a whipped cream that is light, airy, and full of flavor.
