It’s incredibly easy to make! Just be sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days – don’t let it sit out at room temperature for too long.

If you do happen to have leftovers (which is rare!) , you can reheat them gently over low heat or even microwave them for 10-15 seconds to revive the whipped cream.
