Ingredients
  

1 cup heavy cream, chilled

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped

1 tablespoon bourbon (adjust to taste)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Chill Your Tools: Before you start, place your mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk) in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. Chilling the equipment helps the cream whip up better and faster.

    Combine Ingredients: In the chilled mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, scraped seeds from the vanilla bean, bourbon, and a pinch of sea salt.

      Whip it Up: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the mixture on medium-high speed. Whip until soft peaks form, usually about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn into butter.

        Taste and Adjust: Once you reach soft peaks, taste the whipped cream. If you prefer a stronger bourbon flavor, you can add a little more to your liking. Continue to whip for another few seconds to incorporate any additional bourbon.

          Serve or Store: Your Bourbon Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream is now ready to be dolloped on your favorite desserts! If not using immediately, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
