🥛 How to make Whipping Cream
Step 1
✅ First, put the butter and milk in a bowl.
✅The butter should be melted well with the milk.
✅So, melt the butter with the milk in the microwave oven for 30 seconds each.
✅ It doesn’t matter if you melt it using the double boil method.
✅ After the butter has melted well, mix the milk and butter with a spoon.
✅ After a little of this mixture is done, put it in a blender jar and blend well for three to four minutes to mix the butter and milk.
Step 2
✅ Now put this prepared mixture in a bowl.
✅ Now this milk has become thick.
✅ Now cover this bowl with a lunch sheet.
✅ Cover the surface of the mixture with cling wrap so it touches the surface.
✅ Now keep this in the fridge for an hour.
Step 3
✅ After an hour, take it out and stir with a spoon.
✅ Even if it is covered with the lunch sheet, stir it.
✅ Cover it again as before and put it in the fridge for two to three hours to cool.
✅ Now the whipping cream is ready.
✅ When the whipping cream is not at home, beat this whipped cream well and use it for cakes and gateaux. It can be used as icing or ganache.
💡 Instructions for making Whipping Cream
✅ Do not use salted butter as it may alter the taste of the cream.
✅ For the cream to set well, the butter and milk must be melted until it forms a smooth mixture.
✅ Blend the butter and milk well until you get a creamy texture (3–4 minutes).
✅ Keep the mixture in the fridge for at least 2–3 hours to whip it easily.
✅ Use a hand mixer / electric beater to get more volume than you can with a spoon.
✅ Add a little vanilla essence or icing sugar to enhance the taste and aroma.
