Whipped cream is a preparation of heavy, double, or other high-fat dairy cream that has been aerated by whisking or mixing until it becomes light, fluffy, and capable of holding its shape. This process incorporates air into the cream, creating a semi-solid colloid. According to the definition of a sauce on Wikipedia, which includes creams, whipped cream can be considered a type of sauce due to its semi-solid texture and preparation method. It is commonly sweetened with white sugar and sometimes flavored with vanilla. Whipped cream is also known as Chantilly cream or crème Chantilly (French: [kʁɛm ʃɑ̃tiji]).
