Using the whisk attachment on your mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream, vanilla, sugar, instant pudding, and salt on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream , ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract, 2 teaspoons Powdered Sugar , 1 Tablespoon Instant Pudding, ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
When lifting the beaters out of the whipped cream the ends of the whipped cream should not curl over, but instead stand straight up. There should also be a well that will hold in your bowl when it's whipped enough. But I caution you, over whipped cream turns into butter.
Serve immediately over your pie or dessert or place in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
