How to whip heavy cream by hand?

Hi, I'm making a pie right now, and I bought heavy whipping cream and sugar to mix together for topping. I don't have an electric mixer, and I've been beating it with a wire whisk by hand for 10 minutes now and it's not fluffing up. Can I do it this way?How to whip heavy cream by hand?
Yes, you should be able to do this. You need to do this fast enough to capture air in the whipped cream. It does take some time, but 10 minutes should be enough.

Is it labeled whipping cream? If you have 'ultra pasteurized' cream, stop trying.





If not, put a big bowl of ice on the counter. Place your mixing bowl with the cream inside the ice. Beat with a good whisk. It won't take anywhere near 10 minutes. More like 3 or 4 minutes.
it takes a while but you can.. it would be easier if you stopped, put it in the fridge and went out and bought a hand mixer or an electric mixer
yes and your arm will be nice and sore. Be careful not to over beat or it will collapse and you will never get the peaks back
Cold cream and a cold bowl with a wisk and lots of elbow grese!
