How to make Whipped Cream

I live in a place where I go to a supermarket and ask for cream, they direct me to the section where you get beauty creams. They stand dumb found when you say, milk cream or the cream you eat. I'm not saying this based on a single isolated incident but this has happened a lot of times in different shops in and around my area. Believe me, this is no exaggeration.

It isn't easy to find whipping cream or whipped cream in the Indian supermarkets. The best you get is Amul cream.. This one packet, took one month to find me because it's not an easy product to find in our area. Somehow I find it everywhere when I don't need it and when I need it; it suddenly disappears from all the places I shop at. This time I bought it, kept it and made sure that I used it before the expiry date. Thanks to the blog (motivation), otherwise there have been quite a few 1litre packets that I've hoarded and thrown away to the horror of my husband.


So to make whipped cream is no big deal if you have a hand blender or kitchen aid. I don't have both and I've spent a lot of time and energy to whisking it out, sometimes you might wonder, why put so much of an effort but when you use it in the dessert or cake, you'll feel glad.

Now let's get to work.

Things I used:
  • Amul Cream refrigerated
  • Whisk
  • 2 Bowls
  • Ice cubes
Procedure:

1. Pour the Cream into the smaller bowl. Place it into the bigger bowl and fill it with ice cubes.
 

2. Whisk whisk whisk... to incorporate air into it. Whisk till you see soft peaks on the cream and your whipped cream is ready to be used.



Notes:
1. It is easier to whip cream at cold temperatures.
2. If your recipe requires you to use sweetened whipped cream, add powdered sugar and whip.
3. I've added sugar to this while whipping as I was going to use it to make Tiramisu.

    My cousin had the same experience too in Kerala, happens a lot I guess:). Amul cream does work pretty well if you can keep everything cold.

    u know what, i thought i was the only one who felt this way about the non-availability of whipping cream in india! im so happy 2 have found another person hehe... just like u said, not only do we get lousy low-fat cream but even that is so hard to find! all my trials at whipping them into stiff peaks have been massive dissapointments, and i have tried every way there is!next time im gonna try ur method of using an ice bath. keep my fingers crossed it will work! :)

    hey anisha, hi.
    first time on your blog.
    interesting posts.
    something just crossed my mind after reading how tough it is for you to find cream.
    i've read somewhere that if one doesn't have heavy cream or half-n-half on hand to add creaminess to soups/curries, one can substitute by boiling whole milk until it reduces to half or 1/3.
    do you think this thick reduced milk can then be whipped to make whipped cream?
    just wondering; i haven't tried.

      Hi Shweta, did u mean u used hand blender? If yes just make sure u keep the whisk attachment in the freezer along with the bowl and cream, and if u tried it during summer I'm sure the weather spoiled it for u. try doing it in a cooler room or cooler time of the day.

    hey Anisha..saw ur blog yesterday...I used this technique with Amul cream only and I did keep my utensils, whisk, everything in freezer and tried whipping. it turned out really nice... and i kept the cream in freezer also for like 20 mins...and then used the 2 bowls , 1 with ice and so on...it took like 10-12 minutes to get the right thing with hand whisk. and then i decorated biscuits with it..my son lved it..and also on coffee..but then yes if u want to give intricate shape on cake and all, u can whip and keep it in fridge..and then to use on cake ,,,whip the cold cream fast again and then u can use it on cake..decent shapes can be done. Thanks a lot..will share the pics once i use it on cake...

      Yes that happens if you over whip it... my sister made this mistake once and she got the whole thing split. According to what she said it happened after getting the peaks in the cream, she continued whipping to get it stiffer and that is when it got separated.

    Nice post, thanks for sharing. I used to make amazing airy light whipped cream with heavy whipping milk while in US but this was not the same. Amul cream is too creamy, the whipped cream turned thick. I'm hoping to find supplies at a gourmet store in someplace in bangalore.

    Thanks Anisha. I tried a small variation of this and thought i will share for the folks who said they couldnt get good results using your technique. I put the ice cubes inside a heat pack and whipped the cream on a container placed on top. This ensured that the ice cubes didnt melt for long, the results were fantastic. I got real thick whipped cream in about 3 minutes of whipping.
