Whipped Cream in a Jar

I saw this method on Facebook, and just had to give it a try.

Pint mason jar, small carton (1 cup) whipping cream, dab of vanilla, 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar.

Put lid on, shake vigorously. Some claim 45 seconds, some say 5-6 minutes. I shook this a few minutes. Ta-daaa .... it works!

I put mine over a simple pie of a prepared graham cracker crust and instant chocolate pudding.

This would be good if you don't feel like using a mixer, or if you're in a place where there is no mixer, or for something fun for kids (of any age - ha ha) to do. Creamy goodness, very simply!
