About This Technique
The purpose of whipping cream is to incorporate air into cream to give it structure. Often used for dessert toppings. To make whipping cream like a pro: 1. Make sure the cream is at least 1 day old. 2. Thoroughly chill the cream and equipment. 3. Using a whisk or whisk attachment (if using a machine), whip at medium speed. 4. Sift in sweetener slowly (if using) as you whip. 5. Stop whipping when the cream forms a peak that holds shape. Over-whipping will cause the cream to collapse. 6. Keep the cream slightly under-whipped if incorporating into other ingredients. 7. Fold in flavoring after the cream is whipped.
