Cream is a beautiful ingredient which can blend into innumerable varieties of sweets to make it yummier. This is one thing I always have a stock of. But many recipes require the usage of whipped cream. That is when I started making whipped cream out of fresh cream. Though whipped cream powders are readily available in the market these days, I do not prefer using them purely because of the preservatives and additives that goes in to it.
So here is the recipe for Whipped Cream –

Note:
- I have used Amul fresh cream (low fat cream with 25 % milk fat).
- Keep the beater blades and mixing bowl in the freezer for an hour before using, for the best result. This is especially required when it’s hot and humid outside.
- Whipped cream has a very low shelf-life, hence make this just prior to the requirement.
