    Preheat the oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper.
  • Step 2

    Dividing the parmesan evenly, spoon four mounds of cheese onto the lined baking tray, leaving a 2 inch gap between each pile. If you have a cookie cutter mould you can use this to help create the shape. Press each pile of cheese down gently to flatten

    Transfer to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until golden and bubbling, remove the tray from the oven and set aside to cool for 30 seconds-1 minute. Leave the oven on.
  • Step 4

    Taking a muffin tray, gently press each warm crisp into the base of a muffin cups to form the basket shape. Once you have shaped the crisps, leave to cool completely so that they firm up.

          Do you mean Double CREAM? Probably Heavy Whipping Cream.
