There is a difference between whipped cream of Paris or French cream and crème de Paris. Do you know what kind?
You must have come across the terms Parisian whipped cream and Parisian cream in recipes. Especially, if you are extracting foreign recipes, it can be a mistake that both mean the same thing. Make no mistake.
What is whipped cream and what is it used for?
The Parisian whipped cream is not difficult to prepare and neither are the ingredients. It is made from just two ingredients – chocolate and whipped cream. It is important that the cream has the highest possible fat content. You can choose the chocolate according to your taste, the Parisian whipped cream can be made of dark or white, but pay attention to the quality.
Parisian whipped cream is used not only to decorate sweet treats, but also to cover desserts and cakes. It is also decorative as a complement to fruit or pudding cups. However, remember that whipped cream won’t last as long as cream and won’t be as firm either because it doesn’t contain butter. Desserts with Parisian whipped cream must be used within two days.
How to prepare whipped cream of Paris?
Whether you’re making white or dark chocolate whipped cream (you can also try caramel chocolate or the famous “ice chestnuts”), the basic recipe is the same:
1) 250 ml of cream
2) 100 g of high quality chocolate
Bring the cream to a boil, add the chocolate broken into pieces and stir until the chocolate melts. As soon as the mixture begins to boil, stop it and let it cool in the refrigerator until the next day. The next day, whip the mixture and use as needed. Do not forget that the cream must be cold to be whipped well. Paris whipped cream is prone to curdling, so don’t over whip it – a shorter whip is really all that’s needed. Fresh Parisian whipped cream holds its shape and you can also pipe it on with a decorative pipe.
Of course, Parisian whipped cream can also be bought in a washing machine or even in a liquid form that only needs to be whipped, but homemade is still the best.
