What is Chantilly Whipped Cream?
Chantilly whipped cream, also known as sweetened whipped cream, is a simple yet luxurious treat made from heavy cream, sugar, and often vanilla extract.
It is commonly used to top desserts or as a filling in pastries.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chilled heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken.
- Add the vanilla extract and continue to whip the cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip the cream, as it may become grainy. Stop as soon as the stiff peaks form.
- Once the desired consistency is achieved, use the Chantilly whipped cream immediately or refrigerate it until ready to use.
important Notes
- Ensure that the heavy cream is well chilled for best results.
- Use a stainless steel bowl that is chilled for quick results.
- The inside of the bowl must be dry and completely clean.
- Be mindful not to over-whip the cream, as it can turn into butter. Stop whisking once it is stiff peaks.
Add-Ins and Variations
- For a flavored Chantilly whipped cream, consider adding a splash of liqueur, cocoa powder, or citrus zest.
- Use less sugar as you like.
- Substitute confectioners’ sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
Recipes that Use Chantilly Whipped Cream
- Chantilly whipped cream is a perfect topping for classic desserts such as strawberry shortcake, chocolate mousse, and pavlova.
- Fill Hong Kong mango pancakes, top ube halaya milkshakes, be part of banana pudding cheesecake, dollop over banana lumpia (turon), and to make coffee drinks more creamy and a little sweet.
Common Questions and Mistakes
- Can I use regular sugar instead of confectioners’ sugar? Confectioners’ sugar is preferred as it dissolves easily and helps stabilize the whipped cream.
- Why is my whipped cream grainy? Over-whipping the cream can cause it to become grainy and eventually turn into butter. Watch the texture carefully as you whip the cream.
- Why is my whipped cream runny? Any oil or fat in the bowl will not allow your cream to become fluffy. Also, use a medium high speed whisk and give it a little time. It will become whipped cream!
Enjoy making and indulging in this delightful Chantilly whipped cream!
