What each ingredient does
- Heavy cream
- Whipped into a fluffy foam that gives the basket its light, airy filling.
- Wafer paper
- Forms the thin, crisp basket shape that holds the whipped cream.
The step that matters
Keep the basket very dry after assembling. Wafer paper absorbs moisture from the whipped cream and softens, so the basket loses its crispness and shape if it gets damp.
