Whipped cream is light yet creamy, soft yet rich, and easy to dollop onto pies and cakes and ice cream. Use these 6 tips to make sure your cream whips up as quickly and lightly as possible.

Cold cream whips up the quickest and lightest. Chill the bowl and whisk for at least 15 minutes before whipping the cream.

Once any sugar or vanilla is incorporated into the cream, whip, whisk, or beat the cream consistently until it forms soft peaks.

Softly whipped cream dollops nicely and maintains a smooth, creamy texture. Cream beaten to stiff peaks starts getting a slightly grainy texture and can quickly separate into butter and buttermilk if over-beaten.

Be sure you have a big enough mixing bowl so the heavy cream wont splatter all over.

You can definitely try to hand whisk your whipped cream but it is better to make whipped cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Whisk your whipped cream on medium speed, not high speed. You don’t want to over whisk.
