Fluffy Whipped Cream

1.In a small saucepan, whisk together the flour and a small amount of heavy cream to create a smooth paste.

2.Gradually whisk in the remaining heavy cream until well combined.

3.Place the saucepan over low heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

4.Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.

5.Once the mixture has cooled, transfer it to a mixing bowl and refrigerate for about 1 hour to chill completely.

6.After chilling, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the chilled mixture.

7.Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

8.The fluffy whipped cream is now ready to be used as a topping for desserts or beverages.
