Step 7. Serve the cream, both hot and cold, with fresh berries or pudding

Advice

  • The cream is thick enough when you can draw a line on the surface of the spoon with your finger and it remains visible.
  • The cream must never reach a boil. When it starts to thicken, remove it from the heat. If it overcooks, it goes crazy and you'll have to start over.
