<strong>heavy cream<\/strong>, is a dairy product made from the fatty portion of milk. Fresh, unhomogenized milk naturally separates into milk and cream, with the high-fat cream rising to the top. This top layer of thick, fatty cream is then skimmed off and processed to <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/how-to-make-homemade-whipping-cream\/\">make whipping cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whipping cream typically contains between <strong>30-40% milk fat<\/strong>, giving it a rich, creamy texture and indulgent taste. The high-fat content allows air bubbles to be incorporated into the cream through whipping or beating, creating a light, airy foam that can hold its shape. This is how whipped cream is made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to other dairy products, whipping cream has a much higher fat percentage than milk or half-and-half, but less fat than butter. The exact specifications differ between products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heavy whipping cream<\/strong>&nbsp;must contain at least 36% milk fat. It is sometimes labeled \"<a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/heavy-whipping-cream-vs-whipping-cream\/\">heavy cream<\/a>.\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whipping cream<\/strong>, also called \"<a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/whipping-cream-vs-double-cream\/\">light whipping cream<\/a>,\" contains 30-35% milk fat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference in fat percentage affects the consistency and stability of whipped cream - heavy cream makes a thicker, stiffer whipped cream while whipping cream makes a lighter, airier whipped cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_Whipping_Cream_Made\"><\/span>How is Whipping Cream Made?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-is-Whipping-Cream-Made.jpeg\" alt=\"How is Whipping Cream Made\" class=\"wp-image-56282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-is-Whipping-Cream-Made.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-is-Whipping-Cream-Made-768x403.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whipping cream is made through a process called separation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pharmaceuticalonline.com\/doc\/what-is-homogenization-0001\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pharmaceuticalonline.com\/doc\/what-is-homogenization-0001\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">homogenization<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>First, fresh milk is&nbsp;<strong>separated<\/strong>&nbsp;into cream and skim milk through centrifugation. The high-fat cream floats to the top and is skimmed off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, the separated cream is&nbsp;<strong>homogenized<\/strong>, which breaks up the fat globules into smaller sizes. This helps create a smoother, more stable emulsion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The homogenized cream is then&nbsp;<strong>pasteurized<\/strong>&nbsp;by heating to at least 160\u00b0F (71\u00b0C) for 15 seconds. This kills harmful bacteria and extends shelf life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally,&nbsp;<strong>additives<\/strong>&nbsp;like carrageenan or sodium caseinate may be mixed in to further stabilize the cream.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The resulting whipping cream product has a rich, creamy texture ideal for whipping into light, airy foams. The higher the fat content, the better it whips up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nutrition_Facts_of_Whipping_Cream\"><\/span>Nutrition Facts of Whipping Cream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to its high-fat content, whipping cream is very high in calories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>1 tablespoon of <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/heavy-whipping-cream-vs-half-and-half\/\">heavy whipping cream<\/a> has about&nbsp;<strong>50 calories<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>5g fat<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>3.5g saturated fat<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tablespoon of whipping cream or light whipping cream has about&nbsp;<strong>35 calories<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>4g fat<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>3g saturated fat<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So while whipping cream adds rich flavor and texture to foods, it is very dense in calories and should be enjoyed in moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fat in whipping cream is primarily saturated fat. However, research on dairy fat and heart health has shown mixed results, with some studies suggesting dairy fat may have a neutral or even beneficial effect on heart disease risk factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whipping cream is also a good source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamin A is important for immune function and eye health, while vitamin D supports bone health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_Whipped_Cream_from_Whipping_Cream\"><\/span>How to Make Whipped Cream from Whipping Cream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-to-Make-Whipped-Cream-from-Whipping-Cream.jpeg\" alt=\"How to Make Whipped Cream from Whipping Cream\" class=\"wp-image-56283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-to-Make-Whipped-Cream-from-Whipping-Cream.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-to-Make-Whipped-Cream-from-Whipping-Cream-768x403.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular uses of whipping cream is making whipped cream. Here's a simple process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chill<\/strong>&nbsp;the cream, mixing bowl, and beaters so everything is cold. This helps the cream whip up better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pour<\/strong>&nbsp;cold whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Use heavy cream or whipping cream with 30%+ fat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beat<\/strong>&nbsp;the cream starting on low speed, then increasing to high. Beat until soft peaks form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add sugar<\/strong>&nbsp;or vanilla once soft peaks start to form to flavor it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beat<\/strong>&nbsp;until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Refrigerate<\/strong>&nbsp;whipped cream until ready to use, for up to 2 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tips for best results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Use heavy cream for firmer whipped cream that holds its shape longer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add stabilizers like gelatin if you need the whipped cream to be very stable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under-whip slightly if you will refrigerate whipped cream for later use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whipped cream<\/strong> adds a light, creamy texture, and sweet flavor to so many desserts. It's perfect for topping cakes, pies, ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, waffles, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Whipping_Cream_in_Cooking_and_Baking\"><\/span>How to Use Whipping Cream in Cooking and Baking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-to-Use-Whipping-Cream-in-Cooking-and-Baking.jpeg\" alt=\"How to Use Whipping Cream in Cooking and Baking\" class=\"wp-image-56284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-to-Use-Whipping-Cream-in-Cooking-and-Baking.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-to-Use-Whipping-Cream-in-Cooking-and-Baking-768x403.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides making whipped cream, whipping cream has many culinary uses due to its rich texture and indulgent taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>savory cooking<\/strong>, heavy cream can provide a luxurious, creamy mouthfeel to soups, sauces, casseroles, and more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Make cream-based soups like bisques, chowders, or wild rice mushroom soup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add body and richness to pasta sauces, like an indulgent mushroom and bacon carbonara.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir into risottos or grits just before serving for extra creaminess.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mix with cheeses, herbs, and spices to make easy cream sauces for seafood, chicken, or steak.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>baking and desserts<\/strong>, whipping cream helps create decadent custards, mousses, ice creams, and more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Make classic creme brulee, pots de creme, or vanilla bean custard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fold whipped cream into chocolate mousse or berry mousse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add body and richness to homemade ice creams and sorbets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mix with mascarpone cheese to make an easy tiramisu filling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top cakes, pies, cupcakes, waffles, pancakes, or fruit salads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what you're making, a splash of whipping cream can add indulgence, moisture, and creamy texture to both sweet and savory recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whipping_Cream_Substitutes\"><\/span>Whipping Cream Substitutes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don't have whipping cream on hand, several ingredients can be used as substitutes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Milk and butter<\/strong>&nbsp;- Mix 1\/4 cup melted butter into 3\/4 cup milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Evaporated milk<\/strong>&nbsp;- Chill and whip it just like whipping cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/americasrestaurant.com\/powder-creamer-vs-liquid-creamer\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/americasrestaurant.com\/powder-creamer-vs-liquid-creamer\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Powdered creamer<\/a>&nbsp;- Reconstitute with water to make \"heavy cream\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Greek yogurt<\/strong>&nbsp;- An equal amount of full-fat yogurt can mimic thickness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coconut cream<\/strong>&nbsp;- Refrigerated solids from a can of coconut milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tofu<\/strong>&nbsp;- Blended silken tofu can replace whipping cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vegan whipping cream<\/strong>&nbsp;- Made from oils like coconut or soybean<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/whipping-cream-vs-condensed-milk\/\">whipped cream substitute<\/a>, <b>Cool Whip<\/b> or other <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/cool-whip-vs-whipping-cream\/\">frozen whipped topping<\/a> can be used, though homemade always tastes better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When selecting a whipping cream substitute, choose options with higher fat content to best mimic the richness.
