Whipping Cream

Whipping cream is a full-fat dairy product with a fat content of typically 33-40%. Its high fat content allows it to be whipped into a firm foam, which is used as a topping for desserts, cakes, pancakes, or coffee. It is also ideal for sweet creams, ice creams, and mousses. Unlike cooking cream, it is not designed for heat treatment, it may curdle when boiled. Before whipping, it should be well chilled, ideally overnight in the refrigerator. It whips best in a chilled bowl using an electric mixer.
