Ingredients
- 250 ml cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar confectiners suga r/powdered sugar
Instructions
- Whip the cream, vanilla and icing sugar until thick and soft peaks have formed.
- Line a baking tray or large container with baking paper (make sure it will fit in your freezer). Spread the whipped cream over the baking tray so that is around one and a half centimeters thick.
- Freeze for at least two hours or until firm (overnight is even better).
- Use your star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out star shapes, pop them on top of a hot chocolate to make the hot chocolate super special.
Notes
Tips
- If you want to get even fancier, you could dust the whipped cream with a little cocoa, gold dusting sugar, or sprinkles before freezing.
- If your hearts aren't coming out cleanly try running your cutter under warm water and wiping off the excess water before cutting.
- Before you start cutting out the stars, pop a second tray or plate in the freezer, you can then pop your freshly cut-out whipped cream hearts onto the chilled tray so they don't melt while you are cutting them out.
- It certainly doesn't have to be a star-shaped cutter, use any shape you want, hearts would be lovely or anything really.
