How it is made
Whipped cream is made by beating heavy cream until it thickens and forms soft peaks. Sugar and flavorings like vanilla can be added to enhance its taste. It can be made using a whisk, electric mixer, or whipped cream dispenser.
History
The practice of whipping cream dates back to the 16th century, where it was used in various European desserts. It became popular in cocktails during the 20th century as bartenders began to experiment with creamy textures and flavors.
In cocktails
Bartenders often use whipped cream as a garnish for cocktails, adding it to drinks like White Russians or dessert cocktails. It can also be used to create layered drinks or as a base for creamy cocktails. When serving, it's best to dollop or pipe the whipped cream on top just before serving to maintain its texture.
Worth knowing
Whipped cream can double in volume when whipped, making it a great way to add volume and texture to desserts and drinks.
