1. Can I use a hand whisk instead of an electric mixer?
Yes, you can use a hand whisk to whip the cream. However, it will require more time and effort compared to using an electric mixer. Make sure to chill your bowl and whisk beforehand for better results.
2. Can I use powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar?
Yes, powdered sugar can be used instead of granulated sugar. Powdered sugar dissolves more easily and can result in a smoother whipped cream. Start with the same amount and adjust according to taste.
3. How long will homemade whipped cream stay fluffy?
Homemade whipped cream will stay fluffy for a few hours after being whipped. However, it will gradually lose its volume and deflate over time. It is best to whip the cream shortly before serving for the freshest and fluffiest results.
4. Can I freeze homemade whipped cream?
Whipped cream can be frozen, but it may lose some of its texture and become slightly grainy upon thawing. If you need to freeze whipped cream, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before using, and re-whip if necessary.
