Notes
Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 1 day ahead of time or three days ahead of time if stabilizing with gelatin.
How to Store: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Start the mixer on low speed to move the ingredients before turning the speed up. Doing this will ensure the cream does not shoot out of the mixer everywhere
I like to keep my cream in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes before putting it in the stand mixer.
You can whip this by hand using a whisk or an electric hand mixer.
This is good to eat with fresh berries in case you don’t want to make a special dessert to put it on.
