Instructions

Start by chilling your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. A cold bowl helps to whip the cream faster and achieve the desired texture.
2
Pour the chilled whipping cream into the cold bowl.
3
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, begin to whip the cream. Keep an eye on it as it starts to thicken.
4
Once the cream begins to thicken, gradually add the Splenda sugar substitute and vanilla extract while continuing to mix.
5
Increase the mixer speed to high and whip until stiff peaks and ridges form in the cream, being careful not to overbeat, as the cream can turn grainy or begin to separate.
6
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, then serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later use. Enjoy!
