2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp good-quality balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp butter, unsalted, at room temperature

Steps:

2. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the processor bowl. Add the lemon juice and pulse again. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Check the sesaoning, then add the heavy cream and pulse to blend. (Be careful not to over blend once the cream is added or the mixture may break.)
4. Serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to four days. If refrigerated, return the spuma to room temperature before serving.
