Is whipped cream a solid or liquid?

whip cream is a colloidal mixture like gel, which has suspended particles so it is liquidIs whipped cream a solid or liquid?
Whipped cream performs this rapid changing act because of a phenomenon called ';shear thinning.'; When part of the foam is forced to slide or ';shear'; past the rest of the foam, the foam ';thins.'; It becomes less like honey and more like water, allowing it to flow easily until the shearing stops.


Yes, but whip cream also doesn't always stay in this formation. Actually store bought whip cream is just the cream added with a little bit of vanilla, sweetener, and then but in the can. THe can actually an aerosol can so it putts the whip cream under pressure causing it to whip up. But if you try this, you'll understand that whip cream can change back to a liquid. If you have just normal whipped up cream, and leave it out to settle, it will go back to cream, like before. If you freeze you whip cream, the whole thing would have to be unfrozen, and then it would start melting back into a liquid.Is whipped cream a solid or liquid?
It's a liquid - if you get enough of it, it will definitely flow. Think of it this way - cream is a liquid, and when you whip it you add air bubbles, but that doesn't change it into a solid.
liquid because it is made from milk so it liquid!!!!any more questions
