Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream (preferably pasteurized, not ultra-pasteurized)
Instructions
- Pour the heavy cream: Into a clean, chilled bowl.
Whisk the cream by hand or with an electric mixer on medium speed until it thickens and soft peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, or it will turn into butter. Use fresh cream immediately as a topping for desserts, in sauces, or in recipes requiring cream. Store any unused cream in the refrigerator and use within 3 days.
Notes
- Chilling the bowl and whisk before whipping helps achieve better volume.
- Use fresh cream in recipes that call for whipping cream or heavy cream.
- Ultra-pasteurized cream may not whip as well.
