Chantilly cream might sound fancy, but the French whipped cream actually couldn’t be easier to make. It’s simply whipped cream that’s sweetened with sugar and flavored with vanilla. The classic recipe is an essential component in many desserts, used in everything from pastries to cakes and tarts (although it’s equally delicious just dolloped on a bowl of fresh fruit!).
What’s the Difference Between Chantilly Cream and Whipped Cream?
Chantilly cream is always sweetened and flavored with vanilla, while whipped cream is often prepared unsweetened or just very lightly sweetened.
What Is Chantilly Cream Made Of?
Chantilly cream is made of cold whipping cream or heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. The cream is sweetened and flavored then whipped to medium peaks using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
