If you only whip the cream, it will melt quickly. Here are some tips to improve it by adding other ingredients:
🔅 Method 1: Add gelatin
Ratio: 300g whipping cream – 3g gelatin
- Soak the gelatin in cold water until soft.
- Melt the softened gelatin with 30g of whipping cream, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Whip the cream with sugar until it becomes somewhat stiff, then add the melted gelatin mixture and continue whipping until the cream is firm.
🔅 Method 2: Add unsalted butter
Ratio: 300g whipping cream – 70g unsalted butter
- Let the butter soften at room temperature; it should be soft to the touch but still cool.
- Whip the butter with sugar until fluffy, then add the whipping cream and continue whipping until firm.
🔅 Method 3: Add chocolate
Ratio: 300g whipping cream – 30g chocolate
Melt the chocolate with 30g of whipping cream, then let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, add the remaining cream and whip until firm.
🔅 Method 4: Add cream cheese
Ratio: 300g whipping cream – 60g cream cheese
Blend the cream cheese with sugar until smooth, then add the whipping cream and whip until firm.
⚠️ Other tips for whipping cream:
- Before whipping, the temperature of the cream should not be higher than 10°C or lower than 7°C, as this will affect the stability of the cream. It’s best to measure the cream’s temperature with a thermometer, ideally between 7-10°C.
- Do not whip the cream right after buying it. Its temperature at that time is not ideal for whipping. It’s best to refrigerate it in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Do not store whipped cream in the freezer.
- It’s recommended to whip the cream in a bowl placed in ice water to help the cream whip more evenly and stabilize better.
