GUTTANS TIPS
- ICING SUGAR : Use 1 tbsp of icing suagr for every ¼ cup of cream.
- CREAM : Non Dairy Whipping Cream (Whip Topping) and Dairy Whipping Cream are equally preferred for pastry and cake decorations. Non-dairy whipping creams have become increasingly popular as it whips into stable foam.
- COLD BOWL, WHISK AND CREAM : While making whipped cream, always make sure the bowl, whisk and the cream are ice-cold to get faster results.
- OVER MIXING: Avoid over mixing at all costs. Over mixing results in grainy, thick, and buttery appearing whipped cream. It should be soft, fluffy peaks that can easily be dolloped. Keep an eye on the whipped cream at all times, because it comes together faster than you think. Recipe is adapted from here and here .
- MEASURING TOOLS USED : 240 ml cup, 15 ml tablespoon and 5 ml teaspoon.
