Whipping cream
What it is
Whipping cream is a high-fat dairy product that is used to create whipped toppings and enrich various dishes and cocktails. Its high fat content, typically around 36% or more, allows it to be whipped into a light, airy texture that can be used to add creaminess and volume to cocktails. In mixology, whipping cream is often used in dessert cocktails, adding a luxurious mouthfeel and balancing sweetness with its rich flavor.

How it is made
Whipping cream is made by separating the cream from milk and then pasteurizing it. The cream is then whipped to incorporate air, increasing its volume and creating a light, fluffy texture. The process can be done using a whisk, mixer, or food processor.
History
The use of cream dates back to ancient times, but whipping cream as we know it became popular in the 17th century. Initially, it was used primarily in desserts and pastries. As cocktail culture evolved, bartenders began incorporating whipping cream into drinks, particularly in the 20th century, leading to the creation of many beloved dessert cocktails.
In cocktails
Bartenders use whipping cream to create rich, creamy cocktails that appeal to those with a sweet tooth. It can be used as a topping for drinks, blended into cocktails for added texture, or even incorporated into the base of a drink. When serving, it is often garnished with chocolate shavings, fruit, or a dusting of cocoa powder to enhance its visual appeal.
Worth knowing
Whipping cream can double in volume when whipped, making it a great ingredient for adding lightness to cocktails.
