Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 200 ml Heavy Cream low-fat
- 2 tbsp Sugar powdered
For the Ice Bath
- 10-15 Ice Cubes
Instructions
- Chill the heavy cream in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. This ensures it whips up properly.
- Carefully pour the chilled heavy cream into a chilled bowl, avoiding any shaking. Shaking can mix the thinner liquid at the bottom with the thicker cream, hindering proper whipping.
- Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice cubes. Set the bowl with the chilled cream on top of the ice bath. This helps keep the cream cold and promotes stable whipped cream.
- Using an electric mixer, whisk the cream on low speed for 5 minutes. This begins incorporating air into the cream.
- Add the powdered sugar to the cream. Increase the mixer speed to medium, then high after a minute. Continue whisking until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 7-8 minutes total.
- You'll know the whipped cream is ready when it holds its shape but is still soft and billowy. Be careful not to over-whip, which can make it grainy.
- Transfer the whipped cream to a serving bowl or use immediately. Store leftover whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Refrigerate the cream pack beforehand and avoid shaking it to prevent mixing the liquid and thick parts.
- Use an ice bath that's as cold as possible; keep adding ice cubes while whipping.
- Use a glass bowl for whipping cream; plastic and steel bowls are less effective.
- Start whipping at a low speed and gradually increase it.
Expert Tips
- For extra stability, add a small amount of cream of tartar or a pinch of cornstarch to the cream before whipping.
- If your kitchen is particularly warm, consider chilling the bowl and beaters in the freezer for a few minutes before starting.
- Don't overwhip the cream, as it can become grainy and butter-like.
Storage Instructions
- Whipped cream is best used immediately. If you need to store it, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Be aware that it may lose some of its volume over time.
