The Final Touch
When serving this tarte, you can top it off with some fresh whipped Oldenburger SHANI Whipping cream. In Europe it is very common that cakes and tarts are served with whipped cream. The cream brings out the flavour even better. It also adds some welcome moisture.
01. How firm and stable whipped cream turns out, depends on the cream’s fat content. You will obtain best results with a cream with a fat contents of at least 30%. The higher the fat content the more stable the cream. Cream should always be refrigerated between 4 and 10 °C before whipping. If you wish the whipped cream to stay firm even longer, a cream stiffener can be added during whipping.
