- How do I know when my peaks are “steady”?
When you lift your whisk, the peaks should stand firm without collapsing back into the mixture.

Regular granulated sugar works best to achieve the right consistency and sweetness.

Keep any leftover crème in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Make sure the butter is at room temperature, which will help it incorporate smoothly.
