How much sugar for 1 pint of heavy cream for whipped cream?

I start with one tablespoon (a flatware spoon, not measuring) of confectioner's sugar then start tasting. I usually add a splash or two of vanilla also.

Pint Whipping Cream

I usually get whipping cream to make curry with, especially butter chicken. I also like just strawberries and cream. When I was in Denmark this is what was served for dessert, just take some ripe strawberries (especially if they're at room temperature), cut up or whole, put them in a bowl, pour the cream over and top with a sprinkle of sugar. It might sound strange, but it is so good, strawberries can be substitued for other berries or peaches, etc.

Quarter cup for 1/2 pint, use powdered sugar as it is lighter.

I agree that it depends on how sweet you want the finished product. I'd start with two tablespoons (measuring spoons) of confectioners sugar.

As someone else said, confectioners sugar disdolves better.
