Whipping Cream
Description
Whipping cream is a dairy product with a milkfat content between (30%) and (36%), which makes it ideal for whipping into a light and airy topping. While it can be used for a variety of desserts, it's a slightly lighter option compared to heavy cream and holds its shape less firmly, deflating sooner. Composition: Whipping cream is made by mixing milk with milk fat to achieve a fat content between (30%) and (36%). This is slightly lower than heavy cream, which has a higher fat content and results in a thicker, richer consistency.Whipping: Its moderate fat content allows it to be whipped into a soft, fluffy texture, though it won't hold stiff peaks as well as heavy cream.Uses: It is commonly used as a lighter topping for desserts like pies, cakes, and fresh fruit, or as a light filling for pastries.Comparison to heavy cream: While you can use them interchangeably in some recipes, heavy cream produces a thicker result and holds its shape more reliably, making it better for things like frosting or thickening soups and sauces. Whipping cream is better suited for a lighter topping that you want to be airy.
