Notes

Couple things to note with the cream of tartar:
  1. It's not necessary, but does help the whipped cream stiffen up and maintain its structure better.
  2. I've tried this recipe with 1/4 tsp and 1/8 tsp. Either is fine, but I did notice that, with the 1/4 tsp, there was more of a yogurt tang present. We prefer it without, but didn't dislike it with, so depending on your dish, adjust by preference.
