HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHANTILLY PIE

Step 9: In a bowl, whip the cream with the powdered sugar and the vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

TIPS FOR THE CREAM
1. We usually use cream with 30% fat. According to our experience, heavy whipping cream is the best option if you want your cream to have a thick and fluffy texture.
2. Store the cream in the fridge. Whip the fresh cream with powdered sugar. Powdered sugar helps to whip the cream and adds flavor.
3. To add extra flavor to the cream, we usually add vanilla extract (1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for 200 ml (1/2 pint (236 ml)) cream).
