Chef's Tips

Omit the brandy, if desired.

To whip cream properly, use cold whipping cream, a cold bowl and cold beaters. Use an electric mixer. Start with mixer set on low, and then as cream thickens slightly increase speed. Beat only until cream forms peaks when beaters are lifted; overbeating will turn cream to butter.
