Yes, they knew... a lot. And they took much of that ‘knowin’ with them. My mother was so funny the way she scoffed, “but it’s not REAL whipped cream.” My earlier post was a tribute to her...:-)
Oooh, I haven’t checked the price on that heavy cream in a while. Bless you for doing that for your friend...(((hugs))). I think you don’t add sugar until towards the end?
(My post was kinda a tribute to mine, too, and my precious grandma!)
Yes - I usually add the sugar at the end - after soft peaks begin to form.
