Cream
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I'd like to offer you a classic version of this cream made with just three ingredients. However, if desired, you can add vanilla extract, lemon or orange zest, cinnamon, or ginger, for example. Adding melted chocolate or cocoa will give you a completely different, yet equally delicious, variation of the cream. Serve chilled.
