  2. In the chilled mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, mix on low speed to combine the ingredients.
  4. Once combined, increase the speed to medium-high.
  5. Continue to mix for 5 to 7 minutes until soft peaks form.
  6. If you prefer firmer whipped cream, continue mixing until stiff peaks form, but be careful not to overmix.
  7. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for later use.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can re-whip if it loses volume. To freeze, place in small dollops on a baking sheet, freeze, then transfer to a bag.
