This is a basic recipe for making your own freshly whipped cream. You can halve, double, or triple this recipe depending on how many milkshakes you are making. Figure on about 1/4 cup per shake. Also, you can add other flavorings and extracts. Just make sure that the heavy cream is really cold to get the best volume.

Ingredients

　　1 cup heavy cream

　　2 tablespoons sugar

　　1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

　　Combine the cream, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl and whip until soft peaks form. The whipped cream can be made 1 hour in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Whisk slightly before using.
