What are the secrets to making the best whipped cream?
Chill the bowl
This trick alone will help you make the best homemade whipped cream. Just put the bowl of your stand mixer in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Remove it right before adding your ingredients.
Use the right tools:
You can use a whisk or a hand held mixer with whisk attachments, but for best results use a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. If you insist on using a handheld mixer, use a chilled metal bowl. If you use an immersion blender with a whisk attachment, it is very easy to over mix, if you do you will end up with butter instead of whipped cream.
How do you store homemade whipped cream?
Homemade whipped cream is best used immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. If you store it longer it may become soupy. If your whipped cream gets soupy, simply rewhip it. Just add the whipped cream to the chilled bowl of your stand mixer and use the whisk attachment to whip it for a minute or two. Do not over whip.

These tips really work—I have been making my whipped cream this way for years. However, I had no idea you could rewhip it.. I have found that buying the Our Family at Family Fare brand of heavy cream gives the best results:)
Thanks, I’ll give that heavy cream a try next time.
