VANILLA CHANTILLY CREAM
This is a sweeter version of whipped cream. It is smooth and satiny. My family loves it on pancakes, chocolate mousse, and just about anything that needs a sweet touch. Enjoy, from my family to yours.

CHANTILLY CREAM
Steps:
- Chill a mixing bowl and wire whisk in the freezer for 10 minutes before beginning. Beat heavy cream in the chilled bowl until it begins to foam and thicken up. Add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until the cream barely mounds. Do not overwhip.
- Cut the marshmallow in half and microwave for 10 seconds until soft and almost melted. Now, whip it into the cream to form soft peaks. Aside from adding a hint of vanilla flavor, the gelatin in the marshmallow will stabilize the cream. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
CHANTILLY CREAM (CREME CHANTILLY)
This is the classic, simple, sweetened whipped cream. I think it's the first thing I ever learned how to make as a kid. It's delicious with almost any dessert which calls for cream, as a filler for cakes, and mixed with fresh fruit for an easy dessert. Recipe can be doubled, tripled, quadrupled - just however much you need -keep the proportions of sugar and vanilla. You can use a liqueur instead of vanilla. It is easiest to make when the cream is very, very cold.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients.
- Using a hand whisk (balloon whisk) or electric whisk, beat the cream in a stainless steel or glass or china bowl (not plastic- doesn't seem to whip as well).
- It is whipped properly when it is still soft and billowy but holds its shape when the whisk is withdrawn.
- Once the cream is whipped, cover and store in the fridge.
- If it separates slightly, just rewhip to restore its thickness.
