I used my electric hand mixer for the whole process. When I added the cream, I had it on low, as I did for the vanilla and brandy. It was quite fluffy, so the volumne was probably larger than if I had done the last steps by hand. It filled two 1/2 pint jars. There was still a little left over that I lapped up greedily! Yummmm. I made this for the Figgy Pudding that I am taking to my sister-in-law for a Christmas present. I used Recipe #124650 for the Figgy Pudding. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
