How to Make Whipped Cream for Swiss Rolls

What You’ll Need:

  • Hotwhip Cream Chargers (N2O): These will help create the perfect texture for whipped cream.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream (about 300 ml): You’ll need fresh, high-fat cream to ensure the whipped cream is rich and stable.
  • Sugar (30 grams): Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
  • Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon): Optional, but it adds a lovely flavor.
  • Cream Whipper (such as Hotwhip’s cream dispenser): A great tool for evenly incorporating the cream and N2O.


Steps for Making Perfect Whipped Cream:

Step 1: Prepare Your Equipment

Make sure your cream whipper and nozzle are clean. The whipper should be dry and free from any residues to ensure the cream will whip up properly.

Step 2: Add Heavy Cream to the Whipper

Pour the cold heavy cream into the Hotwhip cream dispenser. The cream should be fresh and chilled to achieve the best texture. You can also add sugar and vanilla extract at this stage, or adjust the sweetness according to your preference. Make sure not to overfill the dispenser — leave some room for expansion during the whipping process.

Step 3: Attach the Hotwhip Cream Charger

Screw the Hotwhip cream charger into the charger holder. Place the charger into the slot of your cream dispenser and tighten the lid. This is where the magic happens! The nitrous oxide (N2O) in the charger will pressurize the cream and turn it into fluffy whipped cream.

Step 4: Shake the Dispenser

Once the charger is secured, give the dispenser a good shake (about 5-6 times) to evenly distribute the N2O gas throughout the cream. You’ll hear a hissing sound as the gas infuses into the cream.

Step 5: Dispense the Whipped Cream

Hold the dispenser upside down and gently press the lever to release the whipped cream. It should come out in a fluffy, airy texture. Make sure to dispense the cream directly onto your prepared Swiss Roll cake. If the whipped cream seems a bit too soft, you can add another charger and shake again for more firmness.

Step 6: Roll Up Your Swiss Roll

Once the whipped cream is perfectly dispensed, spread it evenly across the cake and roll it up carefully. The rich, velvety whipped cream will provide the ideal filling, making your Swiss Roll both light and flavorful.

Step 7: Chill and Serve

After rolling up your cake, refrigerate the Swiss Roll for at least 1-2 hours to help it set. Once chilled, cut it into slices and enjoy!


Tips for the Perfect Whipped Cream:

  • Chill your cream whipper: For the best results, chill your cream dispenser and heavy cream beforehand.
  • Don’t overfill: Fill your cream whipper about 2/3 full to allow enough space for the gas to properly mix with the cream.
  • Use cold cream: Whipping cream works best when it’s cold, as it whips up faster and more effectively.
  • Multiple chargers: If you want firmer whipped cream, feel free to use an additional Hotwhip charger and shake the dispenser again.

With Hotwhip’s cream chargers, you’ll have perfectly whipped cream every time. Enjoy your light and fluffy Swiss Roll, and impress your friends and family with your culinary skills!
