Description

Slightly sweetened whipped cream is a classic ingredient in baking and dessert cuisine, known for its light, airy texture and subtle sweet flavor. It is made by whipping cream with a little sugar until soft peaks form, giving it a fluffy consistency that melts in the mouth.

This ingredient has European origins, particularly in French cuisine, where it is known as chantilly, and has become popular worldwide for its versatility in accompanying cakes, fruits, ice creams, and hot beverages.

Its notable properties include its dairy fat content, which provides creaminess and flavor, and it is also a source of quick energy. Being slightly sweetened, it does not overload the dish with sugar, allowing it to enhance other flavors without competing with them.

In different Hispanic American countries, slightly sweetened whipped cream may also be known as nata montada con azúcar, crema chantillí, or simply crema montada dulce. Its preparation and use are similar, making it a fundamental element for giving a final and elegant touch to a wide variety of recipes.
