**Chill the bowl**
Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer for about 10 minutes. This helps the cream whip faster and stay stable.
**Combine ingredients**
In the chilled bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract.
**Whip the cream**
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn the cream grainy.
**Adjust sweetness and flavor**
Taste the whipped cream and adjust the sweetness or spice level if needed by adding more powdered sugar or pumpkin pie spice.
**Serve immediately**
Use the whipped cream immediately as a topping for desserts, drinks, or snacks, or store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
