Whipping Cream

Whipping cream is a high-fat dairy product, typically containing around 30-36% fat, that can be transformed into a light, airy foam called whipped cream through agitation. When you beat or whisk it, the fat molecules trap air, creating a stable, fluffy texture. It’s commonly used as a topping for desserts or incorporated into recipes to add richness and smoothness. For best results, chilling the cream and mixing with a small amount of sugar or stabilizer helps achieve firm, holdable peaks. Whipping cream is versatile and a key ingredient in many culinary creations, offering both flavor and decorative appeal.
