Soft peaks: Looks like stirred yogurt and it doesn’t hold a prominent shape.Just starting to see trails of cream when whipping that doesn’t dissolve right away. Lift the whisk out of the bowl and cream barely clings to it. Soft plop: Looks like slightly melted ice cream.How do you know when the whipped cream is done? They contain water and need a longer whipping time, but the end result doesn’t have the best stability. Honey or maple syrup can also be used, although I recommend using half the amount of liquid sweetener. It’s perceived as slightly less sweet because there aren’t granules that have to dissolve in the mouth. Powdered sugar gives an even sweetness because it’s finely ground. Since the crystals are larger, you may taste little crunchy pockets of sugar. They act like tiny rocks inside the cream that help create air pockets until they dissolve over time. When testing I noticed the granules made the cream whip quicker. You can substitute granulated sugar for powdered sugar. If you want a creamier and more sturdy filling, use heavy whipped cream. Whipping cream works well as a lighter topping for ice cream and shakes. Heavy cream is much richer due to the additional fat, it also aerates faster and holds its shape better for a longer period of time. I tested both and there is a noticeable difference in taste and texture. Whipping cream (or light whipping cream) is at least 30% milkfat, but less than 36% milkfat. Heavy cream (or heavy whipping cream) has not less than 36% milkfat. What is the difference between heavy cream and whipping cream? It doesn’t hold its structure well the next day. I found in my testing that this method is best if using the cream the same day. It takes about 30 seconds using the “high” setting to thicken the cream, then just a few additional seconds for more firm peaks. I use my 8 cup food processor to make the whipped cream which has plenty of volume for doubling in size. The wide bowl and big blade of the food processor can aerate the cream in less than 1 minute. Blend in short 5-second intervals as it thickens quickly! Food processor It only takes 10 to 20 seconds, depending on the desired consistency. Turn to the highest setting to quickly add in air. Start with the lowest speed to incorporate the ingredients together and begin to thicken the cream. The sharp and quick blades of a countertop blender can make whipped cream in under 30 seconds! My Vitamix has a variable speed setting from high to low. This is the critical point where it can get curdled in seconds if not carefully watched and gradually whipped. Lower the speed slightly to create medium or stiff peaks. Ramp up the speed to medium-high until soft peaks form. I like to start with a medium-low speed to fully mix in the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla just to get the mixture foamy. Use different speeds during the process to be sure it doesn’t get over whipped. If you’d like you can chill the bowl and beaters or whisk, but I find that it doesn’t significantly lower the time compared to hand whipping. These incorporate air very quickly into the cream. Use the whisk attachment on your stand mixer or handheld mixer. You can really see the cream transform and gain volume. The process takes about 4 to 5 minutes, causes a little more fatigue on the body, but gives the most control of the peaks. This will accelerate the process because the cold utensils keep the fat in the cream chilled, making for a light and airy product that can better hold its shape.
I recommend chilling the large metal bowl and whisk for at least 15 minutes before beating the cream by hand. A little less stable over time compared to mixer and blender, but good if using right away. Food processor swiftly makes a large batch.Blender yields a stable product due to its small sharp blade and quick rotation used to add air to the cream, however, it needs to be carefully monitored.Stand Mixer (or hand mixer) is great for large batches and works quickly.Hand whipping is great for smaller batches, takes a little longer, but gives the most control.It’s up to you! It’s a quick topping to add to your favorite sweet treats like a cream pie, ice cream sundaes, waffles, cakes, hot chocolate or serve with fresh fruit. Go minimal with hand whipping or use a faster mechanical method. There are various tools you can use to make this whipped cream recipe. Follow my steps and you’ll be a pro in no time! Whisking adds volume and that amazing light smooth texture, but it’s important to know when to stop whipping otherwise you’ll end up with a curdled consistency. Making homemade whipped cream is easy! You really only need one ingredient, heavy cream. It only takes a few minutes to create a light and fluffy topping or filling! Learn how to make whipped cream using four simple methods whisking by hand, stand mixer, blender, and food processor.
