Place the heavy whipping cream and ginger root into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the mixture just barely gets warm but doesn’t thicken; don’t let it come to a boil. Allow the mixture to steep for about 3-5 minutes, then remove from heat.
1 cup heavy whipping cream, 2 inches fresh ginger root
Transfer the heavy whipping cream to a heat-safe container, and place in the refrigerator to cool for 1 to 2 hours. The cream should be completely cold before attempting to whip.
After the heavy whipping cream has chilled, pour it through a strainer to remove the ginger root.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract on low speed until the ingredients are mixed. Adjust the speed to medium-high until the cream begins to thicken and form stiff peaks, about 5-6 minutes.
¼ cup powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Use the whipped cream immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
See post for storage options.
