Notes
What are soft and medium peaks?
To make peaks beat the cream until you see it start to thicken, stop beating, and lift the beaters out of the cream. Soft peak cream - If a peak forms and flops over immediately, it is a soft peak. If a recipe calls for a soft peak, you can stop beating, but if it asks for a medium or firm peak, continue to beat the cream for a little longer to get the correct consistency. Medium peak cream - If the peak stands well, but the tip of the peak curls over it is a medium peak. If you beat medium peak cream a little longer, it will become firm peaks. Firm peak cream - If the peak stands well and does not curl over onto itself, it has become a firm peak, and you should stop beating the cream. If you continue to beat the cream after the firm peak stage, it will split and won't be nice to use.Nutrition
