The dairy cream or known as dairy whipping cream is naturally extracted from dairy milk. This dairy cream has a greater fat percentage of up to 48% and also it gives a nice mouthfeel and creamy taste to your baking or cooking. Dairy cream can also be whipped into 3 stages which are soft peak, medium peak, and stiff peak. Still now, the main test with dairy whipping cream is that it is completely a natural product and not an unnaturally processed cream. The only contest lies in discovering the one best method that works for you is to whip the cream to a perfect consistency. Definitely, this would take several counts of errors and trials as well.
