He added his own touch, a generous sprinkling of instant coffee. And he whipped and whipped and whipped. Not too fast. Just vigorously and much without a break. He was worried that too much will make it into butter. We both stepped in and helped him, but he controlled the transformation for the most part. It was a tough job. It required stamina and strength of the arms. Slowly and steadily from heavy cream it formed into a semi solid, light and fluffy none the less stiff peak.
The actual Banoffie Pie later:
