Helpful cooking tips

• Ensure your heavy whipping cream is cold before whipping to achieve maximum volume and stiff peaks.
• Use softened cream cheese for easier blending into the sweetened condensed milk—this will save time and effort.
• If you want to add more cherry flavor, consider using fresh puree or cherry preserves instead of syrup.
