EASY ESPRESSO WHIPPED CREAM

I use General Foods International Coffees, Cuppuccino flavor for this in place of the instant espress powder. If you are using espresso to make this, make certain that you use only the instant espresso powder! This can be made a couple hours in advance. This will work without chilling the bowl and beaters but the cream will beat up better if you chill them first. You will LOVE THIS!

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
Salt
2 1/2 cups cold heavy cream

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Heat sugar, water, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  • Cook, without stirring, until mixture is amber. (Do not let caramel burn.) Carefully pour in 1 cup cream in a slow, steady stream down the side of the saucepan, whisking constantly, until smooth (caramel will bubble).
  • Remove from heat, and place saucepan in ice-water bath. Let caramel mixture cool, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 20 minutes.
  • Whisk remaining 1 1/2 cups cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold caramel mixture into whipped cream, and whisk until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients: The colder the cream and the bowl, the better the whipped cream will be.
  • Whip the cream gradually: Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the cream thickens.
  • Don't overwhip the cream: Overwhipped cream will become grainy and curdled.
  • Use a whisk instead of a mixer: A whisk will give you more control over the whipping process and help you avoid overwhipping.
  • Add flavorings after the cream is whipped: This will help prevent the flavorings from curdling the cream.
  • Chill the whipped cream before serving: This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

Whipped cream is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts and drinks. With a little practice, you can master the art of making whipped cream at home. Just remember to use cold ingredients, whip the cream gradually, and don't overwhip it. With these tips, you'll be able to make perfect whipped cream every time.
