Is there sugar in whipping cream?

Whipping cream itself does not contain sugar. It's simply pure cream, which is the fatty layer skimmed off the top of milk.

However, whipped cream often has sugar added to it for sweetness. This is because the pure cream is often too bland on its own.

So, to answer your question directly:

* Whipping cream (the ingredient): No sugar

* Whipped cream (the final product): Often contains added sugar
