Expert Tips

One 8-ounce container of frozen whipped topping can be used in place of the Whipped Cream topping recipe. Thaw the frozen topping before using.

For the best whipped cream, start with very cold cream and utensils. Chill the bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Just before baking, sprinkle the biscuits with decorator sugar crystals.
