Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the best texture, ensure your whipping cream is very cold before whipping. You can adjust the horseradish to taste; if you prefer a milder flavor, use less. For a twist, consider adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a pinch of smoked paprika for depth. This sauce pairs beautifully with Barbecued Short Ribs Of Beef, enhancing the meat's richness.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover horseradish sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It may thicken over time, so you can whip it briefly before serving again. Avoid freezing, as the cream can separate and change texture when thawed.
