When making sweetened whipped cream as a pie topping, how do I know when the whipping cream is whipped just right?
The whipped cream should be soft, smooth, light and fluffy in texture and should double in volume. Make sure cream, bowl and beaters are all chilled; that will shorten the length of time it takes to beat the cream. If the whipping cream is over beaten, dry and separated there is no way to return it to its creamy texture. The solution is to start over with more whipping cream.
