I didn't taste it, but it smelt fine, and the sell by date is 28th, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't off.

It's maddening, as the rest of the pie is sitting in the fridge waiting for it, and I am sitting on the sofa waiting for the pie?.

Add some extra cold cream to the mix and whisk it until it comes together again.

Have you done smell and taste tests?

From somewhere at the back of my mind something is emerging about over-whipped cream.

Sorry, can't help but google might.

I have made a banoffee pie, and went to whip the cream to go on the top, and it has split. It was in date, looked fine in the carton, and started to thicken when began to whisk it, but as I continued the cream split so there were basically curds and whey in the bowl.

Has anyone had this happen to them, and if so do you know why, and if there is a remedy?
