A simple cream made from cream and powdered sugar can be used not only for layering cake layers and decorating a cake. It can also be served as an independent dessert, or used to create cakes and fill them.
Sweet, airy and delicate cream.
It is advisable to turn vanilla sugar into powder - this way it is better suited for creating a thick cream consistency. Mix vanilla sugar and powder.
Next, pour cold cream into a deep container and beat with a mixer, gradually increasing the whipping speed. When the cream begins to thicken, add powdered sugar and vanilla in small portions. Continue beating at high speed.
When the cream becomes thick and holds its shape well, do not fall out of it when turning the bowl on its side, you can stop whipping - the cream is ready.
On a note. Cream with at least 30% fat content, cooled in the refrigerator and always fresh, whips well.
Place all the products in a bowl and beat with a mixer for a long time. Depending on the power of the device, it may take 3-10 minutes. We determine the readiness of the cream by its consistency - it should be thick enough, the mixer will leave streaks on the surface of the cream.
On a note. The cream and cream can be whipped either with a mixer or with a whisk. If you try to beat it with a blender or food processor, the product will quickly beat into oil.
You just need to beat the two products until thick using a mixer. Undoubtedly, with powder the structure of the cream will be smoother and more delicate. But even with simple sugar, the dessert will be a success.
On a note. Whipped cream may not hold its shape if a cake or other dessert is prepared for a festive feast within a day. In this case, you can add gelatin.
Preparation of the cream begins with whipping the cream. A couple of minutes after the start, you can begin to introduce condensed milk in small portions. Since condensed milk itself is very sweet, there is no need to add sugar.
The readiness of the cream is determined in the same way as in other cases - the consistency should be well thickened.
All products are placed in one mixing bowl. You need to beat the cream with a mixer: at first the speed should be the lowest, then gradually increase.
To create an airy, delicate cream, 7-10 minutes of working the mixture with a mixer is enough.
On a note. Many housewives prepare dishes using ingredients in quantities “by eye”. To create the perfect cream, we recommend sticking to the proportions of cream and cottage cheese 1:10, that is, the amount of cream is 10th part of the cottage cheese.
First of all, mix the starch with half the sugar. Next, pour half a glass of milk and eggs, mix everything thoroughly with a whisk so that there are no lumps left. Leave aside for a while so that the dry products are well saturated with the liquid ingredients.
Meanwhile, pour the remaining milk into a saucepan, add the remaining sugar and salt, and heat over low heat until the contents begin to boil. At this moment, remove from heat and pour in small portions into the previously prepared mass, constantly stirring with a whisk.
Pour the mixture back into the pan and put it on the fire. Stirring so that the mass does not burn, boil. The mass should become thick.
After the cream has thickened thoroughly, put the butter in it and, while it melts, stir the cream with a whisk.
Pour water into a separate pan and add gelatin, stir a little. Leave aside to allow the component to swell. After that, put it on the stove and heat it, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Then leave it aside to allow the liquid to cool slightly.
Let's start preparing the cream. They need to be combined in one bowl and beaten with vanilla sugar. The mass should become dense, after which you need to stop whipping, otherwise you will get butter.
Place half of the buttercream into the custard mixture and mix gently so as not to disturb the dense structure of the cream. Then combine with the remaining butter cream. Pour in the gelatin and gently mix everything with a spoon.
The cream is ready for use - layering and decorating cakes, filling cakes.
Heat the cream over low heat, but do not let it boil.
Meanwhile, chop the chocolate as finely as possible. Pour the almost hot cream into the bowl with the chocolate chips and stir well until it dissolves in the cream. If you decide to add rum, now is the time to do it. After a few minutes, whisk everything and leave the mixture to cool. When the mixture has cooled, beat it until it becomes a fluffy cream.

Cream is a popular dairy product. Previously, it was obtained by separating the top layer of milk that had settled in a container. This is where the name came from. The thing is that tiny particles of fat float to the surface of the milk, which is why the top layer is so fatty. The process of separating cream from milk can take several days, which is not very convenient for industrial scale production. To extract the cream, a special technology is used, which reduces production time significantly. The process of separating liquids of different densities and properties is called separation. By centrifugation, milk is divided into two fractions, with minimal loss of fat content. It is possible to regulate the fat content of the final product.
What to cook is much fattier than milk, so they are used to make cheese, butter, sauces and soups. Cream is actively used in the confectionery field. A variety of creams made from heavy cream turn out very tender and airy.
Cream differs in fat content. The fat percentage is measured. The stores offer the following range of cream depending on the fat content in it:

Sour cream is a fermented milk product that is prepared from cream with or without a special starter. The starter culture includes fermented milk and cream streptococci.

Remove them with a spoon and leave them to sour in a room at room temperature, then place them in the refrigerator again for a day.
Let's try to figure out how to make sour cream from cream if you don't want to wait too long. You can make sour cream using sourdough. Add 2 tablespoons of high-quality sour cream to fresh heavy cream, the temperature of which is 37-38°, and mix. Cover the container with a cloth and leave for 7-9 hours.

Consider the classic recipe for Mascarpone cream. We will need:
Heat the cream to a temperature of 80°, it is better to do this using a water bath. Squeeze 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and pour it into the container with the cream. Turn off the heat and leave the solution for 10 minutes. The mass will begin to curl. First, a heterogeneity will appear, reminiscent of the consistency of kefir, then a dense mass will begin to separate from the liquid.
Pour the mixture into a lavsan bag and hang it over a container into which the whey will drain. After 1 hour, you can remove the bag and use the resulting cheese in culinary recipes. If you leave some of the whey, then the mass will take on the consistency of a cream.
To make butter you will need 1 liter of heavy cream. It is better to take a natural, fresh product rather than a store-bought option.
To beat the mixture you will need a mixer or whisk. Pour the cream into a glass or plastic container and begin beating the mixture at low speed. Gradually increase the mixer speed. If you see small inclusions of beige or pale yellow color, it means that the process of oil formation has begun.
The liquid that will separate from the butter portion is called buttermilk. It is rich in vitamins and microelements. Buttermilk makes very tasty and healthy baked goods. The homemade butter obtained from the cream should be placed on cheesecloth and left for 2 hours. During this time, excess liquid will drain from it. From 1 liter of cream you should get 300-350 g of ready-made homemade butter.
Some people don’t even know that cream can be used to make a delicate and flavorful cheese sauce. This sauce is ideal for pasta or other pasta dishes. To prepare we will need:

We separate the cauliflower into florets and send it to simmer until cooked. Place the butter in a separate pan and set the heat to low until the butter melts but does not burn. Cut the leek into half rings, chop the garlic, and place in a pan with oil. When the onion is ready, pour the broth and milk into the pan and add the cauliflower. Salt and pepper to taste. After the inflorescences are completely cooked, pour in the cream. Remove the pan from the heat. We set aside some of the inflorescences for decoration, and grind the rest in a blender. Decorate the dish with red caviar.
Ganache is a mixture of chocolate and cream. You can use absolutely any type of chocolate: bitter black, milk or white. The less cocoa butter the chocolate contains, the more it will be needed.

Pour the cream into a metal pan and place it in a water bath. Divide the chocolate into small pieces and place in a container with cream.

Before working with cream, you need to keep it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. We start beating at low speed first, then gradually increase the speed. When the cream begins to hold its shape, the whipping process should be stopped. Otherwise we will end up with butter. If you are not satisfied with the consistency of the cream, you can add gelatin. Cream used for decorating cakes should be denser, so it is more convenient to use.
You can use artificial cream to make cream. At the same time, at the end you will get a mass that will hold its shape well even at room temperature. Such cream whips faster and the risks of spoiling the product are minimized.
There are a huge number of recipes using cream. Remember that the result of the dish will depend not only on compliance with the cooking technology, but also on the quality of the cream used. It is better to give preference to natural cream collected from fresh cow's milk.
