Recipe View Serve Immediately: For the best texture, serve the whipped cream immediately. If not serving right away, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 hours. Note that the whipped cream may lose some of its volume upon refrigeration.

For an extra stable whipped cream, consider adding 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar before whipping.
Experiment with different flavor extracts, such as almond, peppermint, or lemon, to customize your whipped cream.
Avoid overwhipping, as it can turn the cream into butter. If you accidentally overwhip, try adding a tablespoon of fresh heavy cream and gently folding it in to restore a smoother consistency.
