Preparation
Put the metal bowl, beaters and carton of heavy or whipping cream in the freezer to give them a good chill. Leave the carton of heavy cream in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Be sure to check on it every 5 to 10 minutes and give it a good shake to prevent it from freezing.

Plain Whipped Cream
Mix the 1/2 cup of chilled cream in frozen metal bowl with frozen beaters until the cream starts to stiffen slightly.

Add the vanilla and mix until peaks just start to form.

Add powdered sugar and mix until peaks form. Do not over mix or it will become like butter.

Fancy Whipped Cream
Blend secondary ingredients ("other cream", vanilla and sugar) together in a separate bowl.

Mix the 1/2 cup of chilled cream in frozen metal bowl with frozen beaters until peaks form. Do not over mix or it will become like butter.

Fold whipped cream into bowl of "other cream" mixture and mix until blended. Do not over mix.
