Lightly Whipped Cream Recipe (Crème Chantilly)

1/2 pint or 1 cup chilled heavy or whipping cream
A chilled 3 quart bowl
A large wire whip, chilled
2 tablespoons sifted powered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons vanilla liquor or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**2 thickness of damp, washed cheesecloth set in a sieve over a bowl**

Pour the cream into the chilled bowl and beat slowly with the whip until the cream begins to foam. Gradually increase beating speed to moderate, and continue until beater leaves light traces on surface of cream and a bit lifted and dropped will softly retain its shape. {In hot weather, it is best to beat cream over a bowl of cracked ice.} Gently fold in the sifted sugar and the flavorings.

**If you are whipping the cream in advance, turn whipped cream into the cheesecloth lined sieve over a bowl and refrigerate; the cream will stay beaten, and the delicious liquid that has seeped into bottom of bowl may be used for your coffee.**

Sieve; a utensil with a mashed or perforated surface, used for separation coarse from fine parts of loose matter, for straining liquids, etc..
