Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't my whipped cream thickening?
The cream is probably not cold enough or doesn't contain enough fat. Use 35% fat cream and chill the bowl before whipping.
Why is my whipped cream becoming grainy?
It was over-whipped. As soon as the texture becomes firm and smooth, you must stop the mixer.
Can mascarpone be substituted?
Mascarpone is recommended for this recipe because it provides excellent structure. You can use cream cheese, but the taste will be slightly different.
Can sweetened condensed milk be substituted?
Yes, you can use a little icing sugar. However, condensed milk gives a softer and creamier texture.
Is powdered milk mandatory?
It's not mandatory, but it really improves the stability of the whipped cream. If you want a very firm whipped cream for piping, it's recommended.
