Note

For best texture, ensure all ingredients and equipment are cold. This helps the cream whip up faster and hold its structure better.

Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture. If preparing ahead, store covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but note that it may deflate slightly.

This cream is perfect for topping strawberries, rhubarb compote, or warm scones. It can also be used as a filling for fruit tarts.

Do not overwhip the initial cream stage, or it may turn into butter. Stop as soon as stiff peaks form before folding in the sour cream.
