Notes
*Beat the cream until it forms soft peaks if you want a dollop on top or alongside your pie. Beat until it forms medium peaks or stiff peaks if you want to put it in a pastry bag and pipe it on your pie.
Storing instructions: store any leftover whipped cream in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days, but it's best if it's made just before it's needed. If it starts to deflate, don’t toss it. Grab a whisk and whip it back up by hand, then use as desired.
