1 cup high quality cream
1 – 2 TBSP sweetener of choice (to taste), or 6 – 12 drops liquid stevia
1 tsp vanilla extract
Use an electric mixer to blend the cream. Once it thickens, add sweetener, vanilla, and blend just a bit more to combine.

SIDE NOTES:
~ There’s nothing like homemade whipped cream. It’s delicious with fresh fruit of any kind. I’m lucky enough to have a farm near by where I can pick up fresh, raw cream to keep on hand. If this is an option for you, I highly recommend it!
~ Of course, it’s easier to buy whipped cream at the store, but do you really want to eat someone’s chemistry experiment?
