Can ruined whipped cream be rescued?
If you whip mayonnaise too long and ruin it, you can restart with a new yolk and reuse the ruined mayonnaise.
Is there a similar way to rescue whipped cream that has been whipped too long?
Best Answer
I don't think so. In the mayonnaise case, all that has happened is the fat has come out of emulsion and gathered together again, so you can re-emulsify it. In the whipped cream case, you've started to create large fat crystals (butter). I guess technically it might work to heat it up to melt the butter, re-emulsify it into cream and then beat it again, but I don't think it would be worth the effort. You could go ahead and finish churning it into butter and buttermilk if you want to avoid wasting the cream.

One method would be to mix in some new, unwhipped cream and slowly whip it. This new cream should add enough to get back to the desired texture. Another option, especially if more sweetness is desired, is to add some powdered sugar in and slowly mix.Rescue Over whipped Cream
