    4. Heat the cream about to 195 degrees F.
    5. Here’s the easy way to test if the cream is ready: take the spoon out of the cream and pass your finger along the outer side from top to bottom. If the trace is clearly visible, the cream is ready.
    6. Take it off heat, pour through a fine sieve into a clean container and let it cool down, stirring from time to time to prevent the formation of skin on top.
    7. Keep covered with a film, not longer than for 24 hours, in the fridge.
