Step 1
You can make whipping cream from whole milk straight from the cow. Before it is processed, whole milk that is left standing will begin to separate, and the fat from the milk will rise to the top. This is the cream. If you don't have a cow, you can purchase whipping cream at your local market. Use heavy cream---it has the highest fat content and whips up nicely.

Step 2
Assemble your gear (bowl and beaters) and put it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. The chill will help you produce fluffy whipping cream. Chill the cream and keep it cold while you're working; if it gets too warm, it may turn to butter. Put your bowl in a pan of ice to keep things cool.

Wire whisk at Amazon.comYou can use a wire whisk or an electric mixer to whip your cream. If you use an electric mixer, beat on medium-high. As it thickens, add any special ingredients (vanilla, sugar, cocoa). Don't pour extras in all at once; add them to the bowl in a steady stream. Continue beating until your cream forms peaks.
