How to prepare the Sweetened Whipped Cream: 
  1. Combine cream and sugar in the work bowl of a Kitchen Aid (or another brand) mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Mix until stiff peaks begin to form.
How to prepare the Macerated Berries: 
  1. Combine blueberries and sugar in an appropriate-sized mixing bowl. Allow berries to release their natural syrup (approximately 5-10 minutes)
  2. Stir, with gloved hands, just until sugar and syrup are combined. Mix gently to avoid breaking blueberries apart. Cool to 40°F.
Chef's Note: Stored whipped cream may lose its stiffness and needs to be re-whipped before use.
