Notes

  • Chef Notes:
  • Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 1 day ahead of time or 3 days ahead of time if stabilizing with gelatin.
  • How to Store: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • I like to keep my cream in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before putting in the stand mixer.
  • You can absolutely whip this by hand using a whisk or using an electric hand mixer.
  • This is good just eaten with fresh berries in case you don't want to make a special dessert to put it on.
