Why Is My Whipping Cream Not Whipping?

There are many reasons why your whipping cream is not whipping and some of these reasons include the following:- not chilling the heavy cream, using the wrong kind of milk and using the wrong mixing equipment and utensils.

The golden rule with making whipped cream is that everything must be chilled. This includes the heavy cream that is to be used and all the utensils and equipment.  The chilling of the heavy cream and all the equipments ensure that the cream whips faster and holds its peak for longer.

The cream used must have at least 30% fat  and that is why you cannot use non dairy milk or any milk that does not have a high fat content.
