Mom always made homemade whipped cream from the cream we got from milking cows on the farm. She'd whip the cream til stiff and then add sugar and vanilla. She never measured anything so I'm not sure how much sugar, but you can just use what you think you need to make it taste sweet and then she always added 1 capful of vanilla. We'd have frozen strawberries in syrup (thawed out of course) on top of the whipped cream. This was one of my favorite desserts that mom made. Of course you can cheat and use a angel food box mix too, but not as good!!! Enjoy
