Fresh Whipped Cream...in a food processor

A handy little tip from The Kitchn via the La Times on fresh whipped cream. I prefer freshly whipped cream on my desserts and have traditionally done it in my KitchenAid stand mixer. It whips up nicely, but it does take a few minutes. I tried whipping the cream in my KitchenAid food processor today, and I don't think I will be going back to the stand mixer. The cream whipped up ridiculously fast (a minute or so) and didn't request a cold bowl and whisk. When I whip cream in my stand mixer I start it and walk away for a few minutes. Don't be tempted to do that in your food processor...turn it on and pay attention. If you are going to add sugar I would add it at the beginning or through the feed tube maybe 30 seconds after you start to ensure it gets well incorporated. The cream whipped in the stand mixer does have more air in it and as a result is a bit lighter. If you really like an airy whip cream you can stick with the stand mixer or do it by hand. For impatient guys like me the food processor is the only way to go...
