For whipping, ensure the cream is well-chilled. Pour it into a cold bowl and whip using an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. It can be used immediately as a topping for pies, cakes, or fruit. In cooking, it can be gently heated and stirred into sauces, soups, or curries to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Avoid boiling, as this may affect its texture.
