Why did my whipped cream turn into butter?

This happens because of over-beating. When you whip cream too long, the fat globules clump together and separate from the liquid, creating butter. To prevent this, stop mixing as soon as stiff peaks form.

Can I use half-and-half instead of heavy cream?

No, half-and-half does not have a high enough fat content to hold air bubbles, meaning it will not whip into a fluffy foam like heavy whipping cream does.

How do I keep the whipped cream from deflating?

Use powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar, as the cornstarch in powdered sugar acts as a stabilizer. Additionally, keeping all ingredients and tools chilled helps maintain the structure.
