Fluffy whipping cream at home 🤍🤍🤍 1 cup

Fluffy whipping cream at home 🤍🤍🤍

1 cup (220g) whipping cream (cold, use straight from fridge)
1/4 cup (35g) powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cream of tartar

In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer, add the whipping cream. Attach the whisk attachment.
Whisk the mixture at medium-high speed. After about 2 minutes, it should start to get frothy and foamy, add in the powdered sugar and cream of tartar and continue whisking for about 1-2 more minutes. Add the vanilla.
At this point, medium peaks should be forming. Medium peaks will partially fall over. Stop here if you want that glossy dollop on a piece of pie, etc. If you want to pipe this, continue whisking for about another minute until stiff peaks form.

Use for any and all desserts and toppings and enjoy!!

Only the essentials for this toddler mom 💼

I like to be prepared, but I also have to carry around a 25 pound toddler in addition to this bag, so I needed to lighten it up!

I took out a lot of things I don’t see an essential, but my @cleansimpleeats greens are staying in my bag! I drink these every single day and they’re so easy to dissolve in water. The flavors are amazing but the real reason I love them is for the benefits!!

All greens 🥬 flavors are on SALE right now for 25% off and the code: alexdaynes will stack too!!

Grab a bag, or snag this variety pack to taste them all!

Raspberry Lemonade tastes like a raspberry Jolly Rancher 🍬

Tropical is pineapple juice, with a hint of guava 🍍

Peachy: think peach rings 🍑

Green Apple is just like drinking a glass of apple juice 🍏

Sweet Lemon is refreshingly sweet and sour 🍋

Which flave is your fav!?

A traditional chicken salad recipe has chicken, grapes, celery, and almonds. Many are served on a croissant too.

Where my recipe differs is in the dressing. The sauce that coats it all before you chill it and serve.

I like to add whipped whipping cream to the dressing to make it light, airy, and even a little bit fluffy.

Here’s the thing, I don’t sweeten my whipping cream. I simply whip it up with beaters, add the whipped cream to the other ingredients and fold it in gently. Try it!
