Notes and Tips
- Make sure your heavy cream is very cold.
- Stop whipping as soon as peaks form — overwhipping can turn it into butter.
- Powdered sweetener works best so the texture stays smooth.
- Whipped too long? If your cream starts to look grainy, you’ve gone a little too far. Add 1–2 tablespoons of heavy cream and gently fold or re-whip on low to smooth it out.
- Not thickening? Make sure your cream is very cold and use a chilled bowl for best results.
- Too sweet? Add a splash more cream and mix briefly to balance the flavor.
