Easy to Save Whipped Cream Without a Time Machine
Whipped cream is easy to make, but you need to watch carefully. If distracted during the process, your creamy, fluffy clouds of dairy products can turn into a tough, grainy mass. Fortunately, the whipped cream can be returned from the edge; you just need more cream.
Epicurious explains:
If you really whip cream after that soft peak to the point where it starts getting hard and lumpy, there is an easy solution: more cream! To fix this, you’ll want to switch to whipping by hand: simply pour about an extra tablespoon of heavy cream into a bowl and beat gently, adding more tablespoon of cream, until it reaches the consistency you want. He really will come back from the edge.
Of course, this only works up to a point. If you start to see the liquid begin to drip from the lumps of cream, it is best to continue until you have butter and then be happy because the butter tastes good.
