Easy Homemade Whipped Cream
Some years ago, nobody would think that it was possible to make whipped creams at home. For most people, it was the norm to walk into their neighborhood stores and buy their preferred brand of whipped cream. Making a DIY whipped cream at home was never their thing. However, many people are now realizing how easy it has become to make a tasty and highly flavored whipped cream in the comfort of their homes.
How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream
The things that you will need:
- Vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar
- Heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
- Cream whipper
Procedure:
- Put the ingredients inside the whipper, close it, and put in the canister. You should start with a cold cream since this helps to make the whipping process easier. You could even put your bowl that has the whipping cream inside a freezer for up to 15 minutes before you start using it. However, this is not necessary.
- Whip the cream on a moderate to high speed until you get a nice uniform cream. Let the whipping machine run until the stiff peaks form. You can even whip it less, depending on your preference.
- However, you shouldn’t over whip since if it is left for too long, you will mostly end up having butter instead and that isn’t what you want.
- Stabilizing the whipped cream that you have made at home
- At times, you may need to use your whipped cream with desserts, so it’s important that it stays in place for a long time and it doesn’t wilt. This whipped cream can be piped into a cake and put inside a freezer and it will remain in that condition until when you need it.
- The general rule is that the heavy whipping cream to the powdered sugar ratio is 2:1. That means that for every two cups of whipping cream that you use, you can use a cup of sugar. Depending on your need, you can reduce the powdered sugar even further and it will still be okay. However, if you are making larger batches, you will find it easier than if you decide to make smaller batches of whipping cream.
Are there benefits of using cream whippers?
The cream whippers work by aerating the whipping cream in a closed environment, and the result is a cleaner and stronger taste. Using a whipper also makes it easier to keep the whipped cream in fresh condition for longer. Moreover, cream whippers can be used to provide volume as well as body to sauces and dressings which may not in an ordinary sense be aerated.
Conclusion
Making homemade whipped cream is not as hard as many people would think. With the above basic ingredients and equipment, you can make different flavors of whipped cream as you may desire. You can make DIY Whipped Cream that is as good as what major brands offer.
