how to make heavy whipping cream

You can make heavy whipping cream at home using a simple method with just milk and butter. Here's how:

Homemade Heavy Whipping Cream with Milk and Butter

Ingredients:

• 150g unsalted butter (about 1⅓ sticks), no need to soften
• 150g whole milk (about ½ cup + 2 tablespoons)

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Do not boil.
2. Once melted, pour the butter into a blender.
3. Add the whole milk to the blender with the melted butter.
4. Blend on high speed for about 1 minute until well combined.
5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to prevent water droplets, and refrigerate overnight until completely chilled.
6. Once chilled, your homemade heavy cream is ready to use. It can be whipped like store-bought heavy cream.

Optionally, you can add powdered sugar and vanilla extract before whipping for sweetness and flavor

Tips for Whipping Homemade Heavy Cream

• Use cold cream and chilled equipment for best results.
• Whip with a hand mixer on medium speed until you reach the desired peak (soft, medium, or stiff).
• Avoid over-whipping to prevent curdling.
• If over-whipped, you can gently fold in a bit more cold cream to smooth it out

This method creates a heavy cream substitute that can be used in desserts and whipped just like commercial heavy whipping cream
