Notes

It's important not to over-whip, as it can quickly become grainy and separate, turning into butter. If I'm sweetening the cream, I add sugar as I am turning it from low to medium speed. 
For flavored whipped cream, incorporate extracts or liqueurs at the same stage as sugar. Lastly, if I plan to use the whipped cream later, it’s best stored in the refrigerator where it holds its shape for a short period.
