Yes, you can refresh or revitalize already-made whipped cream, but you cannot "fresh" fresh cream in the sense of making it fresher than it already is. The question is grammatically incorrect and needs clarification. We'll explore two interpretations:
Interpretation 1: How to refresh or revive whipped cream?
Whipped cream can lose its structure and become less stiff after being stored. You can refresh it by:
- Adding more powdered sugar and beating again: This helps restore stiffness and improve texture. Multiple sources confirm this technique. (JoyFoodSunshine, Add a Pinch)
- Refrigeration: Proper refrigeration is key to maintaining the quality of whipped cream. Keeping it cold helps it retain its shape and texture. (Reddit - AskBaking)
Interpretation 2: Can you freeze fresh cream?
Yes, you can freeze both heavy cream and whipped cream. Several sources outline methods for freezing fresh cream:
- Freezing heavy cream: Transfer heavy cream to an airtight container and freeze it. (David Lebovitz, Claire Elizabeth Creates)
- Freezing whipped cream: You can freeze whipped cream by placing spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freezing before transferring to a container or freezing it directly in a container. (Simply Recipes, Add a Pinch, Claire Elizabeth Creates)
Remember that freezing and thawing can slightly alter the texture of whipped cream, but it's a viable way to preserve it.
