Whipped cream using whipped cream powder |whipped cream for icing using wire whisk

I always wanted to make whipped cream for my fruit trifle pudding,after googling a lot i came to know that whipped cream is made from whipping cream (Use cream that has either a 36 to 40 percent milk-fat content (heavy cream) or 30 to 36 percent (light whipping cream).}
but i didnt had whipping cream with me .
But i did have a packet of bluebird whipped cream powder and hence decided to try Whipped cream using whipped cream powder

Researched a lot and viola i ended up making creamy whipped cream using a wire whisk in just  minutes,if you are using an electric mixer I guess you will need 3-4 minutes

thought of sharing the same with you

Here are a couple of tips to make sure you have perfect whipped cream:

1) Chill your bowl and beaters/whisk in the freezer for minimum 30 minutes or more. It really helps the cream whip up fast.
2) Don’t overwhip your cream
3) 1 cup powder makes 2 cups whiped cream


Ingredients

1/2 cup bluebird whipped cream powder 
1/2 cup chilled water
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
whisk
a bowl for whipping cream
a big bowl filled with ice cubes





METHOD

1.Keep all ingredients in fridge .Chill your bowl and beaters/whisk in the freezer for minimum 30 minutes or more. It really helps the cream whip up fast.

2. In a metal bowl pour cold 1/2 cup water than add 1/2 cup bluebird whipped cream powder .now place this bowl inside a big bowl which has 8-12 ice cubes in it



3.now start whisking the mixture with help of wire whisk .Using a whisk, begin whipping with wide strokes, which will get more air into the cream and help fluff it up it faster. Switch directions every so often.



4.When the cream starts to thicken, just before soft peaks form, add sugar and continue to whip. A good rule of thumb is 2 tablespoons of sugar for every cup of cream; adjust the sweetness to your own taste. 



5.Continue beating the mixture until soft peaks form. You can whip until the cream makes stiffer peaks if desired, but be careful: You don’t want to turn the mixture to butter.



6.Remove whipped cream in a serving bowl and refrigerate till you use it in your desserts or triffle puddings or icings
