(Optional Ingredient advice)
Tools needed
- A whisk (you can use earlier, saving” time and spread the mixture you made earlier around)
- a chilled bowl(as much as 6 inches/ 15 cm in diameter)
The Steps
- Pour the cream into a chilled bowl and begin to whisk, moving the cream in a figure of 8 across the bowl – taking your time. The cream will bubble and thicken as you whisk.
- Once the cream leaves trails as you pass the whisk over the whole bowl, you are nearing the end. Keep whisking until the cream forms peaks that flop over (soft peaks).
- Just keep whisking until the peaks in the cream turn stiff. Stop at this point.
