How To Know When Brown Sugar Pie Is Done Cooking
You will see that the top of your brown sugar pie will begin to turn a golden brown color. It will also begin to set up a bit as it cooks. You want it to feel slightly firm. It will set up more after it cools down.
How To Make Homemade Whipped Cream
Making homemade whipped cream is really easy. Use heavy cream and powdered sugar. I find placing my bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes helps to speed up the process.
I take the cream and pour in a bowl and whisk until it is thick. Then slowly add in the powdered sugar and mix on a lower speed, or it will make a dusty mess. Then pour into piping bag or spread over a cooled pie.
