Whipped Cream

Whipped cream is a dairy product made by whipping cream to incorporate air, resulting in a light, fluffy texture. This process enhances the volume and creates a stable structure, allowing the cream to hold its shape. Whipped cream is often sweetened with sugar and sometimes flavored with vanilla or other extracts. It is commonly used as a topping for desserts, such as cakes, pies, and ice cream, but can also be incorporated into various recipes or served alongside fruits and beverages. The process of whipping cream typically involves using a mixer or whisk, and it can be made with heavy cream or double cream, which has a higher fat content. Whipped cream can also be produced using non-dairy alternatives, providing options for those with dietary restrictions.
