Add the pint of whipping cream into the bowl of the stand mixer or a large bowl.
-
Using the stand mixer or hand mixer, start by mixing the cream on medium speed until it gets slightly thicker (I cover my bowl with a towel to contain the spray), about 1-2 minutes.
-
Stop the mixer and add the powdered sugar to taste. I typically add 2-4 tablespoons depending on how sweet I want it that day. Put the mixer on slow for about 30 seconds to incorporate the sugar into the cream.
-
Beat the cream on high until stiff peaks are formed. DO NOT OVERMIX or you'll have yourself some butter ;)
-
Keep the whipped cream in the fridge until you're ready to build the cake.
