History of National Whipped Cream Day

The history, origin, and the founder of the National Whipped Cream Day are not known. It is not mentioned anywhere regarding the year since this Day has been celebrated. However, the whipped cream has been existing since the 16th century. Aaron Lapin who invented the Reddi-Wip in 1948, was born on January 5, 1914, and the celebration Day falls on the birthday of Reddi-Wip founder Aaron “Bunny” Lapin. It is often called Chantilly cream or crème Chantilly. The cream is usually whipped until it is light and fluffy with a whisk, an electric or hand mixer, or a food processor. When the equipment and ingredients are cold, the results are best. The cream is often sweetened and at times flavoured with vanilla.

The whipped cream is also often flavoured with sugar, vanilla, coffee, orange, chocolate, and so on. The whipped cream was sweetened and aromatised, and was popular in the 16th century. This cream is used as an ingredient in many desserts varieties as a filling for profiteroles and the layer cakes. The normal creams will consist of 30 percent of milk fat whereas the heavy cream will consist of 36 percent fat. The whipped cream is a popular topping used in fruit and desserts like pie, ice cream, sundaes, cupcakes, hot chocolate, cakes, waffles, milkshakes, cheesecakes, Jello and puddings. The Viennese coffee house tradition serves the whipped cream on coffee. The coffee with whipped cream is called as Melange mit Schlagobers.
