Might be even better if you used heavy cream instead of whipping cream. It's the difference between 36%+ fat content and 30% (whipping cream). I'll have to give it a try.

So simple yet so fun to "shake it up." I'm going to try this.

So do I, we also made cheese. I remember it was the best butter and cheese ever. I go for a 'second chance' and see if it still is :)

Fresh butter! I remember making this when I was a kid in school. Looks tasty!
