# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The chilled whipped cream creates an instant fancy dessert feel without actual effort
- It celebrates peak summer fruit without turning on the oven or stove
02 -
- Over whipped cream won't fold back into soft texture so stop at soft peaks
- Refrigerated peaches lose some fragrance so let them sit at room temperature about twenty minutes before serving
03 -
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for ten minutes before whipping cream
- Tear mint leaves rather than cutting them to prevent browning edges
