Default Can I make whipped cream ahead?

If so, how far in advance can I do it? A couple hours or the day before?

I really don't want to buy Cool Whip. (which is my family's go-to whipped topping).

You have to stabilize it with gelatin or it will weep and deflate. http://bakedbree.com/whipped-cream

We do it right before we need it since it only takes a few minutes. I've discovered from making butter that I can make whipped cream really fast in the food processor.

I say whip it.
Whip it good.
Before the cream sets out too long
You must whip it.

You cannot be too gentle, too kind. Shun even to appear harsh in your treatment of each other. Joy, radiant joy, streams from the face of him who gives and kindles joy in the heart of him who receives. All condemnation is from the devil. Never condemn each other. ... Keep silent, refrain from judgment. This will raise you above the deadly arrows of slander, insult and outrage and will shield your glowing hearts against all evil.

Default Re: Can I make whipped cream ahead?

Hmmm...upon further thought -- we usually take a bit of a break between meal and pie -- I'll just grab the hand mixer.

(I was thinking I'd have to drag out my Kitchen Aide -- I don't want to do that in my smallish kitchen with prep dishes everywhere and a house over-full of people.

You can stabilize it, but I think you'd be better off to do it 2-3 hours ahead. It will keep for that long.

I find that mine is ok when made a few hours in advance

Although, I like ThirstyTurtle's answer best.

I make mine just a few hours ahead of time, but afterwards I freeze it and it lasts for days.

Default Re: Can I make whipped cream ahead?

I use this recipe http://www.food.com/recipe/never-wee...ed-cream-74805 but I use at least 1 cup of powdered sugar since I like sweet whipped cream.
The pudding as a stabilizer is truly magical -- I have left it in the fridge for 5 days, checking each day to make sure it hadn't deflated or leaked -- still perfect!

Default Re: Can I make whipped cream ahead?

I use icing sugar when I want it to keep longer than an hour or so. The corn starch helps stabilize it. But for days, I'd use gelatin.
