CHANTILLY CREAM

'Chantilly cream' or 'crème Chantilly' is a sweet, vanilla-flavoured whipped cream.
It is used in pastry both for its taste and as a decoration. Ice cream is also frequently served with chantilly. In some countries, particularly in most European countries, Chantilly may have neither a sweet taste nor a vanilla flavour.

Preparation


The original recipe was created by François Vatel in the 17th century. The basic Chantilly is made of whipped cream and sugar although there are slight variations in some countries. The most important thing to get the correct result is the ratio between the two ingredients. The ideal portions are 60 grams of sugar for every 200 millilitres of whipping cream. After whipping, add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla bean to taste. It is known as "Slagroom" in Belgium.
