Cream chargers have revolutionised the way people prepare a perfect topping for a cupcake, decorate dishes, and jazz up cocktails with whipped cream and sprinkles on top. When you want to finish your aromatic, hot cup of coffee with fluffy, cloud-like, and creamy whipped cream, a whip cream dispenser is the go-to tool for any tasty occasion.
Any chef and food enthusiast enjoys the effortless cream-whipping process that involves a fresh cartridge of the whipped cream charger and giving your dispenser a light shake. And, voilà, a large volume of perfectly textured whipped cream lands on your culinary creations and stays there firmly, waiting for your bite.
But what are whip cream chargers, and what makes them so special in the kitchen? What is inside them, and what are they used for? You will find answers to these and other questions in our blog.

Cream chargers usually come as an addition to a larger kitchen item called a whipped cream dispenser. These little cartridges are the ones doing all the magic by expanding the cream you add to the whipper.
Each cream charger, also called nang, contains food-grade nitrous oxide (N2O). This is the gas that is released into the cream and acts as a whipping agent that transforms liquid into light and fluffy whipped cream.
The whole magic comes from the infusion of nitrous oxide into the liquid cream. When in the cream dispenser or siphon, the gas is released from the cream chargers and interacts with the cream while being under pressure. The pressure plays a no less important role in creating a perfect whipped cream. While the whole reaction takes place, the pressure is released only when the gas fully dissolves and the bubbly cream expands enough.
The result is a well-known and all-favourite whipped cream that is firm but not too thick and light but not to the point that it starts to sink as soon as you add the topping.
Thanks to the nitrous oxide gas, the texture of whipped cream remains the same for longer than if you were to whip cream by hand.
There is no other easier method to whip cream than with a cream charger! The process is not only effortless, but anyone can master it from the first try. Follow these instructions and enjoy cloud-like whipped cream topping in your favourite sweet and savoury dishes:

Get your cream dispenser (or purchase one from NangWizard) and make sure the top is screwed on and the decorative tip is attached as well.
For the best result, use a chilled whipped cream dispenser.
Once you have all of the parts, fill the dispenser with heavy cream. You can fill up half of the dispenser with liquid cream as it will leave enough space for expanding it.
Feel free to experiment with flavourings and add 2 tsp of vanilla extract, rum extract, lemon extract, or anything else you prefer.
Place your cream charger into the cap and quickly screw the cap with a cartridge onto the top of the dispenser. You may hear a little hiss – don’t worry; it’s normal to hear some gas releasing before you start shaking your dispenser.
The final step to whip some fluffy cream in seconds is to shake the dispenser. Don’t overdo it – a gentle shake is more than enough. It will promote better gas distribution and let nitrous oxide dissolve and expand the cream evenly.
Hold your dispenser upside down with a decorative tip toward the plate and squeeze the whipped cream out gently to see whether the consistency is right. Then, you apply layers of topping on your pastries or your beverages.
Whipped cream is a truly versatile addition to your dishes. Many cooking enthusiasts consider whipped cream as a perfect topping for sweet dishes and beverages. However, cream chargers can also help you transform the taste of savoury creations.
Instead of adding heavy cream to the dispenser, you can add other ingredients like oil, syrup, and even sauces. Nitrous oxide chargers open up a wealth of culinary possibilities, ranging from preparing espumas and sauces to soups and nitro drinks.

Whipped cream chargers contain food-grade nitrous oxide gas that, when used with the cream, dissolves and creates fluffy and light whipped cream in seconds.
If you make a big batch of whipped cream, you can keep it in the dispenser in the fridge for about 10 days. However, it will slowly lose its form and flavour.
