    Want to know how to whip cream in a Thermomix? Our simple tips and recipe have got you covered and will have you on your way to beautifully whipped cream in no time!

    When it comes to basic recipes that everyone needs to know when using their Thermomix, whipped cream is right up there (along with an amazing buttercream recipe, cream cheese frosting and homemade yoghurt, of course!).

    Follow our foolproof guide and have perfectly whipped cream every single time!

    Whipping Cream In A Thermomix

    When I bought my first Thermomix (which was the TM31), I was so confused when it came to whipping cream. In the Everyday Cookbook, the recipe for whipping cream said that it should take 5-10 seconds. Well I have never, ever whipped cream in my Thermomix in 5-10 seconds! Not even close! It would always take me over a minute (at least!).

    And while the new Everyday Cookbook has an updated recipe for whipping cream (and it no longer refers to 5-10 seconds), there's still a lot of confusion about how to whip cream in the Thermomix, including how much time it actually takes!

    And so, we've put together an entire guide explaining how to perfectly whip cream in your Thermomix!

    A bowl of whipped cream.

    What You Need

    Cream! That's pretty obvious, right!?

    But in all seriousness, this is what you need:

    • cream - choose a cream that is suitable for whipping. This is generally referred to as thickened cream or heavy whipping cream. Do not choose light, skim or cooking cream as it wont whip properly. Most cream containers will have a 'suitable for whipping' symbol on the sticker if they can be whipped.
    • vanilla extract and caster (superfine) sugar - for a sweet whipped cream, add a splash of vanilla extract and a tablespoon or two of caster sugar.

    Step By Step Instructions

    It's as easy as 1,2,3 to whip cream in your Thermomix!

    Step 1 - Insert The Butterfly

    Carefully insert the Butterfly into the Thermomix bowl. Check that it is correctly positioned so that it doesn't fall off when the machine starts. You can check this by very lightly pulling on the Butterfly. If it stays in place, it's ready to go.

    Step 2 - Add The Cream

    Add the cream to the Thermomix bowl.

    Step 3 - Whip The Cream

    Turn the machine onto Speed 3 and continue to mix until whipped to your liking (keep an eye on it and stop mixing as soon as the cream is whipped). 

    See our tips below.

    Expert Tips

    Type of cream

    Choose a cream that is suitable for whipping (most will say 'whipping cream', 'heavy cream' or have a little symbol on the container that says that it's for whipping).

    Time to whip

    The type of cream you choose will determine how quickly it whips (cream with a higher fat content will whip quicker and will be more stable)

    Do not use light, skim or cooking cream

    It just won't ever whip!

    Butterfly Attachment

    Insert the butterfly attachment before whipping for the perfect whipped cream

    Don't over-whip

    It's SO easy to over-whip cream in the Thermomix! Watch it like a hawk and don't go over Speed 3 (as tempting as it may be to do so!). Over-whipped cream will curdle and seperate and we certainly don't want that!

    The colder the better!

    Whip your cream straight from the refrigerator - the colder it is, the quicker and easier it will be to whip
    You can pop your Thermomix bowl into the refrigerator or freezer for 15 minutes before whipping to speed up the process (this is especially helpful on a hot day!)

    Amount of cream suitable for whipping

    Don't try and whip more than 600g of cream in the Thermomix. If you need to whip more than that amount, do it in seperate lots.
