How to whip cream with a stand mixer or electric whisk<\/h2>\n \n

Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, it’s important to keep in mind that both the liquid cream<\/strong> and the bowl<\/strong> in which we’ll whip it must be cold<\/strong> , otherwise the cream won’t whip properly. We must also be careful not to whip for too long<\/strong> or our cream will turn to butter<\/strong> and at that point it will be impossible to unwrap. <\/p>\n

How to whip cream with a stand mixer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have a stand mixer<\/strong> , we recommend whipping at least 400-500 ml<\/strong> of cream at a time. A few hours before starting, refrigerate<\/strong> both the bowl and the whisk attachments so they’re at the right temperature<\/strong> when you start mixing. Pour the liquid cream into the chilled bowl and whip on medium-low speed<\/strong> for about 3 minutes, until the mixture reaches the perfect consistency. <\/p>\n

How to whip cream with an electric whisk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, refrigerate the whisks and the steel or clear glass bowl in which you’ll whip the cream. In this case, it’s best to whip less cream at a time<\/strong> than with a stand mixer: about 250 ml is the perfect amount. Turn the whisks on<\/strong> at medium-low speed and whip for a few minutes; once the cream is semi-whipped,<\/strong> you can increase the speed a little (but don’t go too high!). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n
