Preparation
Chef’s notes
The whipped cream is adapted from Nancy Silverton’s version, which uses sour cream or crème fraîche to prevent deflation in the fridge.
The cream can be stored for up to 4 days without deflating.
The addition of dark brown sugar gives the cream a slight beige color but enhances the flavor.
