It is very easy to make at home and need only two ingredients.It's really simple and not only is it
Cheaper and its better then store bought. You can make with different flavor like mango,vanilla
Strawberry and chocolate etc.

Ingredients:

• Sugar-2 tbsp( to taste )

Method:
Pour the cream in the bowl and and whisk on medium speed
Then increase the speed to high, after whipping couple of minutes
Add sugar whisk until the cream become more solid and thick.
It takes about 10 to 12 minutes.Use as needed.
Enjoy!!!
Note:
Do not over whip otherwise you'll make butter.
You can use hand whisk the times will likely be longer.
