- .RZ "SUPERIOR WHIPPING CREAM" "A simple way to make whipped cream extra yummy"
- .PP
- There is almost no dessert that can't be improved by adding a dollop of
- whipping cream.
- Unfortunately, most people seem to be
- afraid of actually whipping the cream, so they buy the
- awful stuff that comes in a pressurized can, or spend
- money on expensive devices to inject gas into the cream.
- (Or worse, they use Cool Whip.)
- The truth is that making your own whipped cream is trivial, with
- the appropriate mechanical aids.
- .IH "makes about 2 cups" "makes about 500 ml"
- .IG "1" "blender or food processor"
- .IG "\(12 cup" "whipping cream" "125 ml"
- .IG "2 tsp" "vanilla sugar" "10 ml"
- (or use white sugar and
- .AB "\(12 tsp" "2.5 ml"
- vanilla extract)
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Shake the carton of whipping cream well, and pour it into the blender or
- food processor.
- .SK 2
- Add the vanilla sugar (see below if you don't know what vanilla sugar is.)
- .SK 3
- Whip the cream in the machine.
- If it's a food processor, leave the pushing device out; if a blender,
- remove the center of the lid, or just
- cover the top of the jar with your hand.
- The trick is to allow lots of air into the cream.
- Run the machine for no more than five seconds at a time, to avoid making
- butter.
- The cream is done when it holds a peak.
- .NX
- If you don't know what vanilla sugar is, don't panic.
- My mother makes this variation in a separate sugar container; fill the
- container with sugar, add a vanilla bean, and wait. After a week or two,
- the sugar will take on the vanilla flavor. Use this sugar whenever a
- recipe calls for sugar and vanilla extract; just remember to keep the
- container full.
- .PP
- If you don't have vanilla sugar around, use regular sugar and vanilla
- extract for the cream.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 1 minute.
- .I Precision:
- no need to measure.
