it happen when i started adding sugar-the cream

Tip 1: It is essential to whip the cream over a bowl of iced water to keep it cold,otherwise the cream will become warm and curdle easily.

Tip 2: Use fresh(single) whipping cream for this recipe,not long-life variety of whipping cream.

The whipping cream must also have at least 35% fat.

Good luck on your baking !

@pinkyy91 I know this was written 2 years ago, but hey, why not? You can try using powdered sugar... a bonus is that the cream won't lose form for several days. :)

how did i end up from " making lean" to here?????

@pinkyy91 > add sugar at the beggining before starting to mix. When you add sugar, try adding fast until it makes like a small mountain in the cream ( as i told, very fast ) , then you will have good tasted whipping cream, and no lumpy. Also try the fastest speed.

@pinky91 That happened to me on my first attempt and the cream wouldn't reach stiff peaks because the cream was at room temperature (needed to be COLD) so I kept whipping and then - like you said - the lumps of butter formed! But I realised that I had made butter! So I strained the result through a sieve and placed the solid lumps in a bowl, clumped them together put the clump into a plastic bag, into the fridge and it tasted AMAZING! Fresh, Homemade Butter! :D

@pinky91 You need:

- the cream to be cold (straight from the fridge)

- to whip at a medium-high speed (it's speed 9 for my electric mixer)

OR

- Place the cream in a bowl in another bowl of ice (to keep the cream cold)

- You can use a normal whisk and whisk super speedily for a long, long time

the cream needs to be COLD for it to form stiff peaks which is the texture of whipped cream and do not overbeat otherwise lots of lumps will form which is the bits of butter

@ALFcannibal No. It won't set up. You need heavy whipping cream.

@pinkyy91 You are whipping too much. If you over-whip it will become butter.
