Cream
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I really enjoy making this simple and aromatic cream. I serve it for dessert, especially love to accompany it with raspberries or diced mango. For extra flavor, add a bit of vanilla or alcohol, such as rum, while heating over a water bath. Serve chilled.

I recommend straining the cream through a sieve to make it as smooth as possible. However, you can skip this step if the consistency is satisfactory to you.
