Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • cup full-fat sour cream chilled

Instructions
 

  • Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the chilled bowl of a stand mixer. With the whisk attachment, beat on medium speed until the mixture starts to thicken.
  • With the mixer running, slowly add the granulated sugar (1 tablespoon at a time).
  • Increase the speed to high and beat the cream until stiff peaks form. The stiffer the peaks, the better the whipped cream will hold its shape when the sour cream is folded in.
  • Gently fold in the sour cream and transfer to an air-tight container or covered bowl.
  • Serve as a topping on your favorite dessert or light frosting over cakes.
