It's always ideal to make homemade whipped cream just before you plan to serve it. If you need to make it slightly ahead, keep it refrigerated for no more than a few hours and give it a gentle whisk before serving. If you have leftover whipped cream, follow the below guidance.
Transfer any leftover whipped cream to an airtight container. This helps prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods and slows down deflation. Store it in the coldest part of your refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Over time, even in an airtight container, homemade whipped cream will start to lose its volume and become less fluffy.
In a chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until slightly thickened.
Add powdered sugar.
Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Makes about 1 1/2 cups of whipped cream.
