You may have heard about the ease a whipped cream dispenser brings to making whipped cream. But you will be surprised to hear that its use is not limited to whipped cream only!
A whipped cream dispenser is one of those tools that might look small but has hundreds of uses. From desserts to cocktails, a whipped cream dispenser can do it all.
Or should we say that a “whipped cream charger” can do it all?
Confused about what exactly a whipped cream charger is or how to use a whipped cream dispenser? Well, this blog is going to solve all your doubts!
Key takeaways:
- Whipped cream chargers make effortless infusions possible.
- Apart from just whipped cream, chargers can also be used for flavour infusions in cocktails, desserts, sauces and more.
- The second most common use of a whipped cream dispenser is the infusion of drinks.
- Drink infusion refers to the process where spirits or any base liquids absorb the flavour of added ingredients. (like adding citrus or herbs into cocktails).
- With a few basic ingredients and a charger, you can make creative recipes like vanilla whipped cream, espresso martinis, fruit-infused waters and mocktails.
What is a whipped cream charger?
A whipped cream charger is a small metallic tube (called a cartridge or a nang) that contains N2O gas. This tube is put into a charger holder, which is then attached to the head of the whipped cream dispenser, and N20 is released into the dispenser.
Too much gas inside the compact space forces the nitrous oxide to form small bubbles within the liquid. And when the liquid is dispensed, gas finds a larger space and forms big bubbles instead. These big bubbles give your liquid a foamy texture!
If such a small tool can perform such big magic, then just imagine how many benefits it can offer! Let’s list their benefits one-by-one:

What does drink infusion mean?
Drink infusion basically refers to the addition of a flavour or aroma of any desired ingredient into the base liquid.
Traditionally, an ingredient (such as fruit) is left in the base drink (such as beer) to sit. Eventually, the flavour and aroma of the ingredients will mix in with the base liquid.
You can imagine the number of days this process can take. But, like every other thing, innovation makes stuff super-easy!
Now with the help of a whipped cream charger, you can infuse your drink in minutes! Sounds amazing, right?
