What is heavy whipping cream?
Heavy cream is known as double-cream outside of North America and is sometimes referred to as "whipping cream" is a cream with 30 to 40% fat content.
Whipped cream is heavy cream that has been beaten by a mixer, whisk, or fork until it is light and fluffy. Whipped cream is often sweetened and sometimes flavored with vanilla.
Cream containing 30% or more fat can be mixed with air, and the resulting colloid is roughly double the volume of the original cream as air bubbles are captured into a network of fat droplets.
Confectioner's (icing) sugar is sometimes added to the colloid in order to stiffen the mixture and to reduce the risk of over-whipping.
Whipped cream is a popular topping for desserts such as pie, ice cream, cupcakes, cake, and chocolate and caramel puddings. It is sometimes used in other recipes such as soups.
