- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Whip until soft peaks form.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Chilling your bowl and whisk is critical—cold equipment produces more stable peaks and greater volume. Stop whipping at soft peaks; overwhipping will turn your cream grainy and eventually into butter. For make-ahead service, slightly underwhip the cream since it will continue to thicken in the refrigerator. If it separates after storage, a few gentle whisks will bring it back together. You can adjust the cinnamon level based on what you're topping—use less for delicate fruit desserts, more for spiced cakes or pumpkin pie. This holds well for 24 hours but is always best served fresh.
