Notes

STORE in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
FREEZE.
  • Transfer the whipped cream to an airtight container with minimal headspace. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the whipped cream to prevent air pockets. Freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Dollop method- for individual servings to use on top of hot drinks like cocoa or coffee, or as a garnish for desserts. 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.
