Instructions
- Optional: Put medium metal mixing bowl in freezer for 15 minutes before whipping. This is not necessary but cold cream whisks and thickens easier and faster.
- Whip heavy cream in bowl with an electric hand mixer
until stiff peaks form (~2-3 minutes).
- Don't over beat the cream or it will become lumpy and potentially turn into butter with a side of buttermilk. Happy Whippin'! Beckie
until stiff peaks form (~2-3 minutes). Notes
- Whipped cream can be made in any bowl, but a chilled bowl works best. Having said that, chilling is not necessary, it just makes it easier and faster to whisk when the cream stays cold.
- Having said that, whipped cream can also be spiced or sweetened up with other ingredients like: powdered sugar, bourbon, rum, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ground ginger, etc... Whip the cream first and then fold in the other ingredients.
- Add any additional ingredients slowly while in the final stages of whipping the cream. Or gently fold in the ingredients after the whipped cream has formed peaks.
