Chantilly Cream – Delicious Whipped Cream Recipe

 

Who can resist light whipped cream, sweet and delicious? The basis for so many desserts – from Pavlova, to Eton Mess to filling cakes and topping pie and even using up leftovers on coffee for breakfast and a café con panna.


Mousse au Chocolat with cream

Whipped cream with cognac and Salted Caramel ice cream from Carmela

Pavolova

lemon meringue no pie

Super easy to make – cream, confectioners sugar, vanilla and a splash of cognac – YES PLEASE!

Chantilly Cream

2 cups Heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla paste
2 tablespoons cognac (optional)

To make the Chantilly cream place heavy cream in bowl of Kitchenaid and whisk for about 2 minutes. Add confectioners sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla paste. Whisk until cream thickens being careful not to over whip.

Chantilly CreamTo be used for Pavlova, Eton Mess, Lemon Meringue Pie no Crust, Lucy’s Quick Italian Mess and for topping chocolate mousse, apple pie and any other deliciousness.

Chantilly Cream Pavlova, christmas WreathA perfect dessert if you are having lots of people over for dinner and don’t have time to make a meringue for a pavlova or Eton Mess is this variation I came up with for Rosé Corner:

Lucy’s Quick Italian Mess

Think trifle without the custard or Eton mess without the meringue – instead I layered fresh raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries with Chantilly cream and little amaretti biscuits – I topped it off with freeze dried raspberries (from Trader Joes) for a fancy fast and fabulous pink dessert.

I think I like the amaretti more than the meringues – definitely one of those in the moment-I-don’t-have-time-to-bake-meringue decisions that resulted in a heavenly sweet treat.Rosé Corner - Easy Entertaining at Home Lucy Lean Italian Mess Chantilly Cream

Always chasing rainbows 🌈 woke up to this odd l Always chasing rainbows 🌈 woke up to this odd light and thought if the sun just came up and it’s raining there must be a rainbow 🌈 and sure enough there it is! New administration and a new day for America and the world #GoJoe #GoKamala #MadameVicePresident
I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watc I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells; listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth.  #WutheringHeights #EmilyBronte the in between - How it started How it ended - bedroom monochromatic light at 7am this morning to 7pm tonight and cocktail time with Tink gin and @david_austin_roses post parents evening and then in the middle I went on a walk with @chloescotland - actually it was an adventure to find the prettiest 13th century church with a moat and a graveyard filled with snowdrops and the tiniest grave - a child? And headstones that were leaning over - I thought tipsy Chloe thought giving up and I was reminded of the Brontë passage about #unquietslumbers #ghostsinmygarden swop harebells for snowdrops - the peace and quiet of a tiny graveyard with a moat and lopsided headstones and peace and quiet - a moment of calm and hope as the #inauguration looms large and as we keep to the rules of lockdown #stayhome #staysafe
Anxiety levels have been high these last few weeks Anxiety levels have been high these last few weeks and just when you think it can’t get any worse it does - Covid levels rising and hospitals dealing with record numbers of very unwell patients, a third lockdown and schools going online and exams cancelled, then there was the runoff in Georgia 💙 overshadowed by the insurrection in D.C. which led to the swift impeachment (again), there’s the excitement of Joe Biden’s inauguration that is being sucked away by the pandemic, the rise of white supremacy with troops guarding the Capitol and ever present fear.  But through it all we have to have hope - for the vaccine, for the teachers helping our kids learn online, for the nurses and doctors working against the odds, for M&S and Ocado deliveries,for a new administration, for arrests of violent rioters, for congress doing its job and for decency to be about to be sworn in.  It’s a lot and we all struggle daily to keep our heads above water.  On a personal level I find painting helps, as do walks in nature and family suppers, I’m wearing pretty dresses, silk underwear and wrapping myself in soft cashmere and yes I’m consuming more champagne than I usually do - if not now then when?  #Lockdown #Stayhome #staysafe #EnglishCountryHouse #EnglishCountryside
