Place mixer bowl and whisk in freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill. Make sure the cream has been chilling in the fridge for at least an hour. (Don't use it straight from a grocery store.)
Pour heavy whipping cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt into the cold bowl (attached to a stand mixer) and whisk on low speed to combine. Gradually increase to high speed until medium to stiff peaks form, about 1-3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid overbeating. Near the end of the time, taste and adjust sugar to taste (adding more if needed).
Store any unused whipped cream in an airtight container for up to 10 hours. When ready to use, briskly re-whisk (with a cold whisk) for 10 to 15 seconds.
