Whipped cream, also known as Chantilly cream, is a light and fluffy dairy product made by whipping heavy cream. It is often used as a topping for desserts, such as pies, cakes, and ice cream. Whipped cream can also be used in savory dishes, such as soups and sauces. Not only is it delicious, it is also relatively easy to make. It is important to note that the type of cream you use and how you whip it will affect the final product. This article will provide you with the best recipes and techniques to make perfect whipped cream every time.
Here are our top 20 tried and tested recipes!
WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING
Whipped cream is a light and simple option for frosting cakes and cupcakes, especially when paired with fresh fruit. The trick is making sure it doesn't get too soft before it's served. Some cooks mix in cream of tartar, which can add a sour note. We prefer powdered milk. It helps create a frosting that's stable enough for piping and layering without affecting the taste

Steps:
- Place a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer in the freezer until cold, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, fill the bowl with ice water and let stand for 5 minutes. Pour out the ice water and quickly wipe the bowl dry.
- Sift the sugar and powdered milk into the chilled bowl, then add the cold cream and vanilla. Whip the mixture on high speed until stiff, but smooth peaks form, about 2 minutes. If you accidentally overwhip, the peaks will look like they are cracking. Add about a tablespoon more heavy cream and hand whip the frosting until it smooths out.
- The recipe makes enough frosting to generously top 24 cupcakes or to cover two 8-inch-round cakes, plus extra to pipe decorations. Unrefrigerated, the frosting will hold its shape for up to 6 hours.

Tips for Making Whipped Cream:
- Use heavy cream. Lighter creams won't whip up as well and will be more likely to curdle.
- Chill the cream and beaters. This will help the cream whip up faster and more easily.
- Start whipping on low speed and gradually increase the speed. This will help prevent the cream from curdling.
- Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become grainy and lose its volume.
- Flavor the whipped cream after it has been whipped. Adding flavorings before whipping can prevent the cream from whipping up properly.
Conclusion:
Whipped cream is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts and drinks. It can be flavored with a variety of ingredients to create endless possibilities. With a little practice, you can easily make whipped cream at home.
