Another trick with whipped cream is taking a couple of marshmallows and cutting them and heating them briefly in the microwave (just to soften) and add those to the cream being whipped. Mine is pretty stable with powdered sugar since the cornstarch keeps it set but I also have a dry product (found in most groceries) that can be added to stablize the cream more. I'd rather have unstable cream than whipped topping so I will try if needed to make it more stable but otherwise suggest a quick stir to get it back together if it weeps a bit. Too good to substitute. This recipe looks marvelous. We are lucky in Oregon--we keep berries at the farmers' market until October. I'll have to go and get some berries this weekend to try this one. Can't wait!
