To whip, ensure the cream and your mixing bowl are very cold. Pour the whipping cream into the chilled bowl and beat with an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. For stiffer peaks, continue beating. It can also be gently heated and stirred into sauces, soups, or gravies to add a smooth, velvety texture and a subtle richness. When baking, it adds moisture and tenderness to cakes and pastries.
