whippable
Ready for peaks
Whippable describes something that can be whipped into a lighter, airier form.
Cream is whippable; milk is not.
The term appears most often in cooking contexts: whippable topping, whippable frosting.
Less commonly, it can mean deserving of or suitable for a whipping, though this use is rare outside historical or humorous contexts.
