"The inspiration for the whipped cream came from Bon Appetit December 2002 issue. I've changed the measurements to my own taste.

"Courtesy of Low Carb Luxury. I tried it and it's good! Problem is, it sets into marshmallows soon, so it's not a creme for long, but good news is it can be microwaved. On regular power, it melts within 3-5 second. Might want to adjust power. If you want to use the creme, do either the microwave or use right after you make it. I used it for gbmom's..."
