What Makes Whipped Cream Fluffy?
Whipped cream is made fluffy by trapping air into the cream while it is beaten. The air bubbles become stabilized by the fat molecules in the cream, which creates a foam-like structure and gives it a lighter and airy texture. As the cream is beaten, the fat molecules begin to stick together, forming a network that traps the air bubbles and holds their shape. This creates the classic fluffy and whipped texture of cream, which is perfect for adding as a topping to desserts, cakes, and hot beverages.
