Instructions
1-Pre-Chill: Ensure both your heavy whipping cream and your mixing bowl are cold. Placing them in the fridge for about 30 minutes prior to use can help achieve this.
-
2-Begin Whipping: Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl and start whipping using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
-
3-Add Seasoning: As the cream starts to thicken and form soft peaks, gently incorporate the salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
4-Herbs Addition: If you're looking to add an extra layer of flavor, fold in your choice of chopped herbs just before the cream reaches stiff peaks.
-
5-Serve: Use the Savory Whipped Cream immediately as a topping or garnish for your preferred dishes.

Conclusion

Smart Tips
-
Optimal Temperature: Chilling all equipment (bowl, whisk, and cream) will make the whipping process smoother and quicker.
-
Experiment with Flavors: Don't limit yourself to the suggested herbs. Try incorporating grated parmesan, garlic powder, or even a hint of truffle oil for an elevated taste.
-
Pairing Suggestions: Savory Whipped Cream pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, especially asparagus and brussels sprouts. It also adds a creamy element to spicy dishes.
-
Consistency Matters: Be careful not to overwhip, as this can turn your cream into butter. The goal is a thick, creamy texture that holds its shape.
-
Storage Tip: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. If the cream becomes a bit loose after storage, a brief re-whipping can bring it back to the desired consistency.
