How to beat cream without an electric mixer

When there is no electric mixer, butter can be whipped by manual stirring, cooling with ice water, and adding sugar in portions. Cream whipping mainly relies on temperature control, continuous stirring, and sugar addition. Manual operation requires attention to even intensity and time control. When manually whipping cream, choosing a metal basin is more conducive to maintaining a low temperature environment. Refrigerate the whipped cream for at least 12 hours in advance, and the bowl and mixing tool can be refrigerated together to cool down. During the mixing process, keep circling in the same direction and use your wrist to exert force on your arm to avoid fatigue. Check the status every 2 minutes, and change to small and rapid agitation when patterns appear. In summer, ice packs can be placed at the bottom of the basin. When the room temperature is too high, it is recommended to make small quantities in batches.

Sugar needs to be added in 3 portions after the cream thickens, and each time it is completely blended before adding the next one. Excessive stirring can cause oil-water separation, and stop immediately when the cream appears upright and sharp. Manually passing time is about three times that of electric tools, and patience is required. Cream that has failed to beat can be refrigerated and left to stand for half an hour before trying again, or a small amount of whipped cream can be added to adjust the texture.

When manually whipping cream, it is important to ensure that the container and tools are completely free of oil and water. Choosing animal based cream with a fat content of over 30% has a higher success rate. Use or refrigerate as soon as possible after sending to avoid repeated thawing. It can be eaten with fruits, cakes, etc. in daily life. For lactose intolerant individuals, it is recommended to choose plant-based cream as a substitute. Long term excessive intake should be controlled in frequency, and people with hypertension and hyperlipidemia should reduce their consumption.
