Whipped Cream in a Jar

I had one piece of pie left and needed just a small amount of whipped cream so I grabbed a jar and made some.  Here's how.

See this social icon list in the original post

Pour about 2 tablespoons of heavy cream in a jar.  Pick a jar that will allow you to shake the cream vigorously with room for it to move around, but don't pick a jar that's too big.  Here I'm using a clean, spice jar.

Add about 1/2 teaspoon of confectioners sugar.

And 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.  Definitely be sure to use the good stuff.

 

Put the lid on the jar and start shaking.

Just shake, shake, shake (45 seconds or so)... and before you know it, you'll have perfectly whipped cream.

  

Just the right amount for one person.
