With all my recipes, please assemble all the ingredients before starting cooking and baking.
It does not get any easier than adding all your ingredients and give it a great stir.
That is all! Easy right?
I do recommend refrigerating it for a couple of hours before serving. The flavors will settle, and your horseradish cream will taste more refined.
I like to make mine at least 24 hours in advance so the flavors will blend to a rich consistency. If you forget to make it ahead of time, do not worry; it will still be packed with flavor and taste incredible.
