Grab a cold bowl, and chill your heavy cream before beginning; cold cream whips better. Once chilled, use a whisk to beat the cream back and forth until
begin to form. Be patient with the process, and you’ll have soft, whipped cream in no time.
What kind of whisk to use
Another little-known fact is that a whisk with more wires or tines will whip cream or egg whites more quickly than one with fewer.
Additionally, a rounder shape is preferable to a more compact shape for whipping. You can agitate the cream and whip air into it more by using more wires.
A big round whisk will also help you get more air into the mixture more quickly than a whisk with a more compact shape. If you are looking for just one whisk to own, buy a balloon whisk.

This article will cover a straightforward, three-ingredient whipped cream recipe that only needs a bowl and a whisk to prepare.
