Description

Whip up silky homemade heavy whipping cream with just two simple ingredients. Cold heavy cream and a touch of sugar blend into a luxurious topping perfect for desserts and coffee, offering you a fresh, creamy delight in minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients:

  • 150 g (5.3 ounces) unsalted butter
  • 150 ml (5.1 fluid ounces) whole milk

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, ensuring complete liquefaction while stirring gently to prevent burning.
  2. Pour milk into the melted butter, creating a smooth, homogeneous liquid mixture.
  3. Transfer the warm butter-milk combination to a blending vessel, processing at high velocity for approximately 60 seconds until thoroughly integrated.
  4. Allow the cream mixture to descend to ambient temperature, covering securely to prevent moisture condensation.
  5. Transfer the prepared cream to a sealed container and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, enabling complete cooling and optimal texture development.
  6. Verify the cream’s consistency before use, which should remain stable for 5 days when stored in a refrigerated environment.

Notes

  • Chilling the mixture helps achieve a thicker, more stable whipping cream consistency that mimics store-bought heavy cream.
  • Use unsalted butter for better control of the final product’s saltiness and a more neutral flavor profile.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute the milk with coconut milk or almond milk to create a plant-based version of heavy whipping cream.
  • Always use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and prevent separation during the mixing process.
