Why Add Vanilla Syrup?
There are a few reasons you should add vanilla syrup to your whipped cream recipe. First, vanilla syrup is already sweet. This stops you from having to use additional sugars to sweeten your cream.
Second, vanilla syrup is already flavored with vanilla. This means you do not need any additional extracts to flavor your cream. This syrup really packs a flavorful, sweet punch.
Finally, vanilla syrup is already a liquid. Sometimes, sugar crystals and granules can deflate your whipped cream if added towards the end. In this recipe, the cream is pre-sweetened with the syrup before whipping, making a perfectly sweetened cream.
What Type of Mixer is Best?
Most people do not want to whip their cream by hand (although if you do, more power to you!) There are a few methods for whipping cream, some easy and some advanced.
To begin, a hand mixer is a go-to for many people. This is the method used in this recipe, and it is almost fail-safe. It is also a kitchen tool that most people have already.
In addition, you can whip cream with a stand mixer fitted with a whipping attachment. This requires even less manpower since a stand mixer is free-standing.
Lastly, if you have a fancy whipped cream canister, you can simply add your sweetened cream mixture directly to the canister. With the press of a button, the machine uses nitrous oxide to whip the cream before your eyes! Exercise caution when using all kitchen tools.
