class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main categories of <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/why-is-whipping-cream-not-whipping\/\">whipping cream<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dairy whipping creams<\/strong>&nbsp;- Made from dairy milk and contain no additives. Higher fat content produces better whipped cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-dairy whipping creams<\/strong>&nbsp;- Made from vegetable oils and contain stabilizers for improved whipped texture. Stay fresher longer than dairy creams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Powdered whipping creams<\/strong>&nbsp;- Dehydrated dairy or non-dairy whipping creams. Require reconstituting with water or milk before whipping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Within these categories, the <strong>fat content<\/strong> is the key factor that determines how well a cream will whip up. Here's an overview of common whipping cream types by fat percentage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Light cream<\/strong>&nbsp;(20-30% fat) - Does not whip well due to low fat content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whipping cream<\/strong>&nbsp;(30-36% fat) - Whips to soft, billowy peaks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heavy cream<\/strong>&nbsp;(36-40% fat) - Whips to firm, sturdy peaks ideal for piping and decorating<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heavy whipping cream<\/strong>&nbsp;(36-40% fat) - Can be used interchangeably with heavy cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manufacturing cream<\/strong>&nbsp;(40-48% fat) - Very high fat content creates ultra-stable whipped cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let's explore each of these popular whipping cream varieties in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dairy_Whipping_Creams\"><\/span>Dairy Whipping Creams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dairy whipping creams are made solely from dairy milk. They contain no added stabilizers or emulsifiers. As a result, dairy creams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Have a fresh, pure cream flavor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not hold their shape as long once whipped<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spoil more quickly than stabilized creams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whipping cream<\/strong> and <strong>heavy cream<\/strong> are the two most widely used dairy whipping creams. Both can whip up into mounds of billowy deliciousness, but there are some differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whipping_Cream\"><\/span>Whipping Cream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>30-36% milk fat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whips to soft, creamy peaks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holds shape for a moderate time after whipping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Found in the refrigerated dairy case<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Common brands: Land O'Lakes, Organic Valley<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whipping cream is the best choice when you need a light, cloud-like whipped cream that will start to deflate after an hour or two. It's ideal for fruit desserts, hot chocolate, milkshakes, and other applications where you'll eat the whipped cream shortly after preparing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since whipping cream is not stabilized, avoid <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/what-is-whipping-cream\/\">making whipped cream<\/a> too far in advance with it. For maximum fresh whipped cream flavor, whip chilled whipping cream right before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heavy_Cream\"><\/span>Heavy Cream<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>36-40% milk fat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whips to firmer peaks than whipping cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holds its whipped shape longer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Found in the refrigerated dairy case<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Common brands: Organic Valley, Horizon, Lucerne<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The higher fat content of heavy cream makes it easy to whip up into stiff peaks that hold their shape well. That makes it perfect for piping decorative details on cakes and cupcakes. Heavy cream whipped cream also stands up better as a cake filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For sweet whipped cream, simply beat <strong>heavy cream<\/strong> with a bit of sugar and vanilla extract. It can also be infused with flavors like orange, mint, or coffee before whipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Dairy_Whipping_Creams\"><\/span>Other Dairy Whipping Creams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heavy whipping cream<\/strong> is another term for heavy cream and can be used interchangeably in recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Manufacturing cream<\/strong> contains 40-48% milk fat, making it even higher in fat than heavy cream. It whips up incredibly thick and stable - perfect for decorating wedding cakes and other special desserts. However, it can be difficult to find outside of specialty baking stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Non-Dairy_Whipping_Creams\"><\/span>Non-Dairy Whipping Creams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-dairy whipping creams provide an alternative for those avoiding dairy. They are made from soy, vegetable oils, and added stabilizers that help maintain the whipped texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to dairy whipping creams, non-dairy varieties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Have a longer shelf life before and after whipping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Require no refrigeration after opening<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whip thicker and hold their shape better<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not curdle or separate when heated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that non-dairy whipping creams are thinner in texture and tend to have a less creamy, more artificial taste. Always check the label for unwanted ingredients if you have food sensitivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular brands of <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/whipping-cream-substitutes\/\">non-dairy whipping cream<\/a> include Reddi Wip, So Delicious, and Truwhip.
