When I added some heavy cream and butter the result was delicious and we've been serving this at Thanskgiving ever since. —sweet enough

-
when the pan is out of the oven, peel the skin off the garlic. The clove should slide right out. remove the herbs from the cream and discard. place everything into a bowl and add the butter and slowly add the cream as you puree the mixture with a hand blender. blend until just smooth. adjust seasoning and serve.
