- Pour the cream into a blender and slowly add the butter a Tbsp at a time.
- Pulse until the butter is completely incorporated. Pulse for another 3 minutes until the texture is light and airy.
- Pour the cream into a container, press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the cream and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Vodka Whipped Cream::
- Beat the cream until it holds soft peaks. Add the sugar and vodka and beat until cream holds firm peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
