Step 3:

Tips and Ideas:

To make a delightful tart and thick whipped cream, whip 2 tablespoons of creme fraische (or sour cream or full fat greek yogurt) with ½ cup of whipping cream and 1 tablespoon of sugar (powdered is best). Whip until soft peaks form. This cream is very stable and won’t separate like regular cream, so is great to make ahead if needed.
