Is it possbile to over whip whipped cream??

Question

I made whipped cream topping for a strawberry pie this morning...and I didn't pay attention as it was whipping away in my mixer. Now it is not fluffy at all & even a little grainy. Did I not whip it enough? Did I over whip my whipped cream? Please give me a surefire way to whip my cream into fluffy goodness! (this is not the first time that I have had whipped cream disasters...)

Answer 1

well, seems you whipped the crap..er...air out of it.

Answer 2

Yes! You did!! When you whip it too much it turns back to liquid. You have to whip and when it feels really light you open it up and it will be whipped cream! Once you over whip, you have to start over!

:) Hope this helps....and trust me, no one makes whipped cream right the first time!!!!!

Answer 3

Yes. It's then called butter.

The problem is that, as you've admitted, you're not paying attention.

You can whip cream ahead of time, when you're not so busy. When you've finished whipping it, transfer it to a fine mesh strainer and put that over a bowl that keeps the bottom of the strainer well clear of the bottom of the bowl. It will separate a bit, but that way, the whey that separates out doesn't touch the whipped cream.
