Chantilly Cream is whipped cream flavoured with vanilla. The French name is Crème Chantilly.
In France, housewives have been buying Crème Chantilly in aerosol cans since the early 1970s (though flavoured with natural vanilla pods from Madagascar, bien sûr.)

After the cream has been whipped and flavoured with vanilla extract, it is flavoured with Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
Cooking Tips
Whip 1 cup of whipping cream (8 oz / 250 ml). When it has formed soft peaks, sweeten it as usual with about two tbsp of sugar, then add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The recipe is easily doubled or tripled.
History Notes
Some food historians believe that Chantilly Cream was being made as far back as the 1600s.
