How long does whipped cream last?
There's nothing worse than serving dessert to a dinner party or a room full of guests, only to find that the cream intended as a topping for the final course has gone bad. That’s why you need to know the shelf life of whipped cream and adjust your plans accordingly.
The shelf life of cream ranges from a few hours to four months. It depends on the type of cream involved, the container it's placed in and the storage environment you choose.
For example, homemade whipped cream won't keep for a few hours at room temperature, but if frozen immediately, the same batch of cream will keep for several months. Here's a quick cheat sheet guide. To help you get started quickly, use the shelf life as the starting point for the time involved in each scenario:
How to tell if the whipping cream has gone bad?
While not 100% correct, the best way to tell if whipped cream has gone bad is through your own senses. Use your eyes to tell if the mixture is starting to separate and water is accumulating. Use your nose to determine if there are any unpleasant odors. And use your tongue to determine if the taste is right.
How to extend the shelf life?
The best way to ensure long-term preservation of whipped cream is to minimize the time it is exposed to ambient temperatures.This means either preparing it immediately before serving or storing it in the refrigerator or freezer immediately after whipping it.If you really must store it outside of either appliance, it’s advisable to use ice to reduce its temperature.
You should also note that the shelf life of whipped cream in the refrigerator depends greatly on the type of storage container.
For the longest lasting results, it is advisable to use an airtight container. This way the cream won't go bad due to exposure to the elements.
A whipped cream dispenser can be perfect for this.
