Here is a recipe for Chantilly Cream that will go great with either pie/tart!

RECIPE:

Chantilly Cream

Ingredients:

2 cups Whipping Cream or Heavy Cream

4 tablespoon Granulated Sugar

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Directions:

1) Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer.

2) Mix with a whisk or the whisk attachment for your mixer to soft peaks.

3) Keep very cold.

NOTES:

Chantilly Cream is best served within an hour.  It can be kept overnight, but it will deflate a little and become runny.  You can rewhip it slightly to get the volume back, but be careful not to over whip.

Heavy Cream has a slightly higher fat content than Whipping Cream. I prefer Whipping Cream for it’s lightness, but Heavy Cream will produce a slightly firmer product that will last a little longer before deflating.
