At this point, your whipped cream should start to look "billowy" and the trails from your whisk will be quite distinct. Pull the whisk out of the bowl and check that the whipped cream in the bowl has formed what are called "stiff peaks. Double check that your whipped cream is done by removing the whisk and flipping it upside down. Use immediately on your favorite dessert. Store whipped cream covered tightly in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
See notes 2 for freezing instructions. Sugar: you can use granulated or powdered sugar here. I have used both and find a slightly smoother whipped cream with powdered.
If you want to double or triple this recipe, powdered sugar is the way to go to keep everything light and airy. See this tutorial for the best way to freeze it! Did you make this recipe?

Half and half and milk even whole milk does not work for whipping, as they do not contain enough fat to hold bubbles of air between its fat molecules.
Follow these steps for perfect results every time. Using two to four tablespoons of sugar per cup of whipping cream is a good balance for a sweet whipped cream. A hand whisk will also work to whip cream, but it will take much longer than a whisk beater on a stand or hand mixer.
There are a number of different ways to stabilize whipped cream; this post details several, including adding marshmallow fluff or butter to the mixture. The moment to stop is exactly when the cream has reached your desired consistency. Anywhere from the soft peak to the firm peak stage is acceptable for whipped cream—you can whip it to your preference.
However, stop mixing once the mixture has attained firm peaks, because after that point, the fat solids will begin to separate, making your mixture grainy. Fantastic I can use my blender electric and pour the cream into the blender and put in frig for a few hours. Your email address will not be published. Skip to content. Dear Subscriber Thank you!
Thank you and we look forward to serving you in the very near future. Lastly, add in a splash of vanilla extract. You can also use other flavorings or sweet alcohols like Amaretto or Frangelico.
When you first start whisking, the heavy cream will form very large bubbles on top. You can test for soft peaks by lifting the whisk straight out of the bowl, flipping it over, and seeing that the dollop of whipped cream falls ever so slightly to the side.
Everything about this method is the exact same as above, but instead of using your arm, the electric mixer does all the work for you. You can use granulated sugar for this method and it will dissolve just fine as you whip the cream.
One minor downside to this method is the whipped cream will not be as even as the hand-whipped cream. You can mitigate this by using a relatively low speed throughout the whipping process. Granulated sugar will not be touched by the whisk attachment, and will sit at the bottom of the bowl, undissolved.
As with the hand mixer, try to use lower speeds with the stand mixer, so you get a more even whip. This method is most different from the others.
Our Sift food editor, Susan Reid, encourages those who are new to homemade whipped cream to try whipping it by hand using a whisk for the first time. This will allow you to see the cream transform slowly in front of your eyes, and you'll be able to recognize the stages of whipped cream development. It can feel like the cream takes forever to firm up.
But once it reaches soft peaks, it progresses through the remaining stages rapidly. This is what whipped cream looks like if you let it mix for too long. It deflates and starts looking clumpy and curd-like in texture. But if you do, and you return to a bowl of slightly yellow, clumpy curds of cream — don't panic!
There's no need to throw away the entire batch. What makes whipped cream "break"? The stable foam mixture made up of milk fat and tiny air pockets passes its peak of stability. Too much mixing causes the structure of the foam to break down, and allows the air to escape.
At this point, you may feel like your whipped cream is ruined. You can fix it. With the mixer running at low speed, slowly drizzle cold, unwhipped heavy cream into the mixing bowl. Keep adding cream until the broken whipped cream regains its fluffy texture.
How much cream do you need to add to the overwhipped batch until it starts to come together? Well, that depends on how overwhipped your cream is.
This whipped cream was "fixed" by adding more heavy cream after it was whipped too long. It's not quite as light as cream that's whipped perfectly from the start, but it's certainly usable and delicious.
A few seconds at medium-high speed right at the end of mixing can help everything come together, but be sure not to overwhip your cream yet again! This whipped cream is too far gone to try to return it to a whipped state. The mixture looks pale yellow and whey has begun to separate from the curds. Continue beating your overwhipped cream until the butterfat starts to form solid clumps. Pour off any of the liquid; this is essentially buttermilk.
You can use it in baking: try it in some of our favorite buttermilk recipes. Fold the chunk of butter over onto itself a few times until it starts to look smooth. Then knead the mass gently in an ice water bath or fold it under cool water to remove excess liquid.
