Ingredients

Instructions
- Chill the bowl and whisk (or beaters) in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
- Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl.
- Begin whisking at medium speed, gradually increasing to medium‑high.
- Continue whisking until soft or stiff peaks form, depending on use.
- Do not overbeat, or it will separate into butter and buttermilk.
