Ingredients

• 2 cups of heavy whipping cream
• 2 Vanilla bean pods
• ½ cup powdered sugar

Process

1. Slice each vanilla bean in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Scrape the seeds out of the pod and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, begin to whip the heavy cream at medium-high speed until thickened and peaks form.
3. Add the vanilla bean seeds and powdered sugar, then continue beating at high speed until blended. Be careful not to overwhip the cream; it will turn to butter. Turn the mixer off.
4. Store in an airtight glass container for up to 4 days.
5. Save the empty bean pod and use it for other vanilla bean recipes.
