To whip heavy cream, ensure it is very cold. Pour the cream into a chilled bowl and use an electric mixer or whisk to beat it until soft peaks form. For sauces and soups, it can be stirred in during the final stages of cooking to add richness and a velvety consistency. Avoid boiling heavy cream, as it can curdle. It can also be gently warmed and added to beverages like coffee or hot chocolate for a decadent touch.
