How to Store
Store Paradise Cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled until ready to use, and give it a gentle stir if necessary before serving.

Ingredients
How to make Paradise Cream
Pour the well-chilled heavy cream into a large mixing bowl and whip it with an electric mixer until it reaches stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream should remain smooth and fluffy.
Once the cream is whipped, add the cold sweetened condensed milk and honey. Using a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together with upward motions to preserve the airy texture.
Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and incorporate them into the cream.
Mix until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth and velvety.
Your Paradise Cream is now ready to use. Spoon it into a piping bag to fill cakes, cream puffs, tarts, and pastries, or serve it on its own in dessert glasses topped with fresh fruit, chocolate curls, or crushed cookies.
