How to Whip Cream.

Whipped cream is never available in Pakistan, or at least I haven't seen it in any super stores yet. Today I'll share some very important points of how to make your own whipped cream at home with y'all.

Firm whipped cream 
What You Need:

Nestle Creations cream, 1 packet
Icing sugar 2 tbsp
Mixing bowl
Electric beater or whisk


Method:
  1. In a large bowl, use a whisk or a beater to whip cream. 
  2. Whip the cream into soft peaks until it clings when the whisk or beater is lifted. This can be used in making mixtures, such as mousse. You can also add icing sugar at this point and beat again.
  3. For firm peaks, continue to beat until the cream holds firmly to whisk or beater. This can be used for decorations of desserts. 
Tips:
  • Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become grainy and butter-like. 
  • Sweeten cream with icing sugar when it starts forming soft peaks.
  • Always chill a large empty bowl, and whisk or the beater for at least 15-20 mins before whipping the cream.
  • Make sure your cream is always super chilled.
  • You can also put the bowl of cream over a bowl of ice-cubes and beat.
  • Any cream can be whipped as long as it has 40% fat content in it.
