Whipped Cream

Whipped Cream

A cold bowl and cold cream make the difference between billowy peaks and a tired, loose topping. Stop while it is soft enough to spoon, or whip a little longer when a slice of pie needs shape.

Butter Club Notes

Whipped cream is simple, but it still deserves to be made right. Cold cream, a cold bowl, and powdered sugar make the texture smooth and stable without turning it heavy. I like using vanilla and just a tiny pinch of salt because it makes the cream taste finished instead of just sweet. Stop at soft peaks for spooning over pancakes or desserts, and go a little firmer if you need it to hold its shape.
