Whipped is when something is beaten or mixed until smooth and fluffy.
When we talk about whipped in food, like whipped cream, it means that sugar has been added to butter and then beaten with an electric mixer until light and airy. Whipped cream is a popular topping for desserts like cakes and pies. People often also whip eggs or heavy cream when making meringues or souffles. The word "whip" here doesn't mean hitting something, but rather mixing it until it's smooth and bubbly. If someone whipped up a meal quickly, they made it fast and simple.
