What each ingredient does

Double cream
Whipped to stiff peaks, it traps air and gives the dish its light, airy body.
No. 2 mayonnaise
Adds fat and richness, blending into the whipped cream to give it a creamy, savory flavor.

The step that matters

Beat for three more minutes. Cream that is over-whipped can turn grainy and begin to separate into butter and liquid, so stop once the mixture is smooth and holds its shape.
