Will It Float? Tricky Guide to Making Whipped Cream Decorations

What better way exists for decorating your beverages and desserts than with a smooth layer of fluffy whipped cream that melts in your mouth? In theory, it sounds delicious. But when you get to work on your whipped cream decorations, the reality may be slightly different from what you expected.

The topping sits right on the hot beverage yet quickly melts into the drink before you manage to taste it. Similarly, the layer of whipped cream evenly spread on the cupcake loses its density, only to dissolve into a creamy puddle. Sound familiar? If so, then you’ve come to the right place.

Whipped cream contains fat that allows it to float on liquid. And thanks to the air that is incorporated in the whipped cream, it also makes it less dense and more “floatable” on water.

If your whipped cream tends to sink quickly, your technique may be the culprit. But is it the only possible reason? Let’s find out!

Why Won’t Your Whipped Cream Float?

There may be a few reasons why your whipped cream doesn’t float on a dessert or beverage. Let’s go over the mistakes you might be making that prevent you from creating smooth and fluffy whipped cream:

Not shaking the dispenser upside down: If you’re a pro, you know the drill. But if you’re new to whip cream dispensers, you should know that shaking the tool upside down is important to have the gas behind the cream when it’s dispensed. Moreover, shaking the dispenser upside down will ensure the gas goes through the cream thoroughly.
Not shaking enough: Shaking the dispenser helps the gas work its way through the cream, but it needs a push, so to speak. Shaking it for too long or too short will result in more sputtering or liquid whipped cream that doesn’t float.
Using the wrong chargers: You may also be using Isi cream chargers with a Supreme cream whipper—or the other way around—which don’t work well together. Moreover, you risk damaging the tip of your dispenser and voiding your warranty. So, it’s best to stick to the same brands that will get you the results you want.
Wrong measurements: Overfilling your dispenser may prevent the n20 gas from mixing in well with the cream. Hence, it’s important to carefully measure your contents and fill the cream up to the line indicated on the dispenser.

How to Make Whipped Cream Float on a Hot Beverage?

Culinary enthusiasts love making hot beverages and decorating them with a thick, fluffy layer of whipped cream. Not only does it make a drink look more appetising, but the topping adds an extra sweetness and a new flavour to the coffee when mixed.

Some home cooks struggle at first with creating a nice layer of whipped cream that does not sink into their drink immediately. Surely, some want to enjoy the cream first before mixing it in or simply to take a photo of their beautiful beverage to show off to their friends—what’s the harm of waiting a minute or two?

Well, the heat doesn’t work well with whipped cream, and it will slowly melt into your drink if the consistency is not fluffy enough.

There is one unconventional trick you can actually try to make the whipped cream float for longer – using not one cream charger but two! Yes, you’ve read it correctly. Here is how you can do it:

Add the whipped cream to your cream dispenser and close it tightly.
Insert the 1st charger and shake the dispenser upside down as soon as you hear the hiss.
After about 30 shakes, remove the charger and insert the 2nd charger.
After the hiss, shake the dispenser again.
Pull the trigger so that trick and stable whipped cream falls evenly on your drink or dessert.
