Expert tips:
The only complicated thing about this recipe is whipping the cream. Correctly whipping it to the stiff peak stage is important to prevent ice crystals. Here are a few tips to ensure it turns out perfectly
- For the best results in whipping your cream, start with cold heavy cream, and be sure your bowl and beaters are cold.
- When using an electric mixer to whip cream, start on low and gradually increase to high. Also, keep a close eye on your cream; you want it to be at the stiff peak stage. This means that when you lift up your beater, the peaks stand up without falling over. Do not continue to beat after this stage, or you could end up with a bowl of butter.
