Whipped Cream

Yesterday, i really wanted some whipped cream to top my fruit and chocolate chips. My mom didn't want to buy any, so she told me i could make some. Here's what i did...
Step One: Take some heavy whipping cream and put it into an automatic mixing bowl. 
Step Two: Mix very fast, but not so fast that it splatters everywhere. On the kitchen aid i used, I set it to 8. Whip until it becomes a little stiffer, looking something like this:


Step Three: Once the cream becomes stiffer, take it down a notch and add a tiny splash of vanilla.
Step Four: Add a spoonful of powdered sugar. 
Step Five: Mix until it becomes the consistency of whipped cream! Don't whip it too much because then it becomes butter, and you don't want that! 
Once it becomes the right consistency, use a rubber spatula to mix it in yourself, because there's probably some stuff on the sides. When you are done mixing it by hand, put it into a large Ziploc bag and cut the corner, so it's like a piping bag. When you are done using the whipped cream and there is still some in there, put it into another bag so it doesn't go bad from the snipped corner. Hope your whipped cream comes out as good as mine did!
