Tips for Perfect Whipped Cream
- Use heavy whipping cream or heavy cream with at least 36% fat for best results.
- Powdered sugar dissolves better than granulated sugar, giving a smoother texture.
- For a flavor twist, try adding a splash of almond extract, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or cocoa powder.
- Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours — give it a quick whisk before serving if it starts to deflate.
