Horseradish Cream Whip:

We used this as a topping for smoked fish on crackers, it provides a light layer that will make other toppings like caviar or capers stay put.  We had a lot extra, so we're going to try it as a garnish/topping for a grilled/roasted fish dish...

1 1/2 cups heavy cream 

1/3 cup prepared horseradish, plus more to taste 
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 
freshly ground white pepper

In a bowl, using a whisk or an electric mixer set on medium speed, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Stir in the horseradish, lemon zest, and white pepper to taste. Spoon into a bowl and pass at the table.
