Pineapple Whipped Cream
Author note: I prefer to use the juice from canned pineapple. To chill it, I place the can in the fridge about 3 hours before I need to use it.
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup crème fraiche
5 teaspoons sugar
3/4 cup chilled pineapple juice
- Place all ingredients into a large bowl. With an electric mixer, whisk at a rapid speed until the cream is airy and fluffy. Place in the fridge until ready to be used. This can be made up to a day in advance.
