Notes
- Sugar-free option: Use a powdered sugar substitute in place of powdered sugar.
- Keep it cold: Cold heavy whipping cream whips more easily and holds its shape better.
- Choose your texture: Stop at soft peaks for a looser topping or continue to medium-to-stiff peaks for pies and piping.
- Avoid overwhipping: Once the cream holds its shape, stop mixing. Overwhipped cream can become grainy and eventually separate.
- Fix slightly overwhipped cream: Add a small splash of cold heavy cream and gently whisk until smooth again.
- Adjust sweetness: Use less powdered sugar for lightly sweetened whipped cream.
