What happens when you whip cream?

When you whip cream, you are incorporating air into the cream, which causes it to expand and become lighter in texture. The air bubbles in the whipped cream also reflect light, which makes it appear white.

Whipping cream is a process of beating cream with a whisk or an electric mixer until it becomes thick and fluffy. As the cream is whipped, the fat molecules in the cream are broken down and the air bubbles are incorporated. This process causes the cream to expand in volume and become lighter in texture. The air bubbles also reflect light, which makes the whipped cream appear white.

The amount of time it takes to whip cream depends on the type of cream you are using and the speed of your mixer. Heavy cream, which has a higher fat content, will whip faster than light cream. An electric mixer will also whip cream faster than a whisk.

Whipped cream can be used to top desserts, such as pies and cakes, or it can be used as a filling for pastries. It can also be used to make other desserts, such as mousse and ice cream.
