Low

In a large bowl, combine the ingredients slowly until well mixed. Continue beating on low speed for 10 minutes or until creamy. Keep the bowl covered to prevent spillage. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks, and then used whenever you wish, but always beat the cream on low speed before use to achieve a smooth and easy-to-handle consistency.
