Can heavy whipping cream already whipped be frozen?

Yes, heavy whipping cream that has already been whipped can be frozen. Here's how to do it:

- Chill the freshly whipped heavy cream thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Scoop rounded tablespoons of the whipped cream onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each spoonful.

- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the whipped cream freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

- Once frozen, transfer the whipped cream dollops into a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

When ready to use, remove the desired amount of frozen whipped cream from the container and let it thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or at room temperature for about an hour. Do not microwave frozen whipped cream as it may cause it to melt unevenly and lose its texture.

Some Tips:

- Chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment before whipping the heavy cream to help it whip faster and achieve stiffer peaks.

- Do not over-whip the heavy cream. It should hold soft but firm peaks when you lift the whisk.

- If you are not planning on using the frozen whipped cream immediately, it's a good idea to add a small amount of cornstarch or powdered sugar to help stabilize it and prevent it from becoming icy upon thawing.

- Thaw frozen whipped cream properly in the refrigerator or at room temperature to prevent it from losing its texture and becoming watery.
