he secret to making whipped cream lies in the cream’s milkfat. As you begin to whisk, air is deposited into the liquid and turns the cream frothy. While some volume is created, if you stopped at this point the air would eventually dissipate and your bowl would return back to its original liquid state. However if you continue to fold air into the cream, something amazing happens! The fat molecules, being jumbled around by the whisk, will actually join together, suspending the air. The air, now stabilized in the pockets of fat, causes the cream to double in size and creates that soft, fluffy effect we all know and love!
