Notes
Make ahead of time. If making in advance, and whipped cream deflates a bit, add a little more whipping cream and beat again right before using (or see our tip about adding gelatin to keep things fluffy).
STORE in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
FREEZE. Simply dollop spoonfuls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 1-2 hours. When solid, store in an air-tight container or freezer bag in the freezer.
