Could whip cream be chilled until ready to serve?
Yes, you can and should keep Maple Whipped Cream refrigerated until you are ready to serve. 🙂
I started making sweet potato pie a couple years ago for Thanksgiving. Be careful because after you make it, it becomes a requirement. I think everyone who tries it likes it better than pumpkin.
I never made Sweet Potato pie but your recipe with the pictures of steps makes it look real easy. It also looks super delicious. Thanks for sharing this post it just might make our Thanksgiving table this year.
Sweet potato pie sounds amazing; I tried it once but I used canned sweet potatoes. Fresh potatoes must make a big difference, because I wasn’t as impressed as I thought I would be. And I LOVE sweet potatoes. I think I’ll give your recipe a go 🙂
Please do try it and let me know how you like it. Be sure to make the Maple Whipped Cream. It is so tasty!! 🙂
