Whipping Cream

S'mee said:

I want to make real whipped cream for my pumpkin pie this weekend
(we're doing an early Thanksgiving at a friend's house on Sunday).
I know how to whip it, but how much sugar should I add? Does
anyone have a tried and true amount (X sugar for 1 pint whipping
cream) or do you just wing it?

1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Whip cream until almost stiff.
Add sugar and vanilla.
Beat until cream holds peaks.

Thank you, Sheldon, that's just what I was looking for! I did check
Epicurious, but couldn't find anything that straightforward...

That recipe sucks... merely adds cornstach... which totally degrades
the texture of real whipped cream.

That's pretty sweet. I usually use a heaping tablespoon of sugar.

I use about 2 Tbsp. per cup.

Add powdered sugar to taste. Some people actually like unsweetened
cream, believe it or not.

Alternatively, buy spray cans of whipped cream. They're real whipped
cream too, and easy to use. Plus you can shoot them directly into your
mouth, as well as using them for lingere manufacture.

Not, of course, during dessert.

I've noticed that a lot of folks recommend powdered sugar over
granulated. Any particular reason? Mom always used granulated sugar.

Heh, I thought of getting one of those, but I have a pint of heavy
whipping cream in the fridge already... :-)
