What does folding whipped cream into mixture mean?

Folding whipped cream into a mixture means gently incorporating the whipped cream into another ingredient, typically using a spatula or a large spoon. This technique preserves the airiness of the whipped cream, ensuring the final product remains light and fluffy. It involves a gentle motion, usually by lifting the mixture from the bottom and folding it over the whipped cream, rather than stirring vigorously, which could deflate the whipped cream.
