Step 3: Begin Mixing
Using an electric mixer on low speed, begin beating the cream for about 30 seconds until the ingredients are combined.
Increase the speed to medium-high and continue whipping.
Step 4: Whip to Soft Peaks
After about 2–3 minutes, the cream will begin to thicken.
At the soft peak stage, the cream will hold gentle peaks that fold over when the beaters are lifted. This consistency is perfect for topping drinks or folding into desserts.
Step 5: Continue to Stiff Peaks
Continue whipping for another 1–2 minutes until stiff peaks form.
