Macadamia Nut Cream Pie...?

Make sure the bowl and the beaters are well-chilled. Gradually add the sugar to the HEAVY whipping cream, with some REAL vanilla extract, and a touch of almond extract. Beat to very stiff peaks........I do this for Fruit Ambrosia and it stays for days in the refrigerator:)
