What each ingredient does

Stock
Makes up most of the liquid base that will set.
Cream
Adds fat for richness and a smooth, soft texture.
Sweetener
Adds sweetness to balance the savory base.

The step that matters

Sweeten before chilling. Cold temperatures dull the perception of sweetness, so tasting and adjusting sweetness while the mixture is still liquid and at room temperature gives a truer flavor once set.
