subject: The Wonderful World Of Whipped Cream [print this page] There are a variety of tools available in the modern kitchen in order to help any chef fuel his or her creativity. One of the most common is the use of cream chargers, which enable the user to whip up the highest quality whipped cream to be used in a variety of different ways. If youve just got started whipping them up, then why not try using it in one of the following ways:
On drinks. Whoever first looked at a warming mug of hot chocolate and decided that the best addition was a big dollop of cream was essentially, a genius. Its not just hot chocolate, either: cream chargers can be used in a variety of different ways related to drinks. Whether its piling the squirty cream onto the aforementioned hot chocolate, or using a dash of double cream to really thicken up that morning coffee, theres not a lot of hot drinks that cant be improved with the use of the white stuff.
On fruit. Whilst the debate over the five bits of fruit and veg a day wont be going away anytime soon, theres little denying that the right bit of fruit can be absolutely beautiful, especially on a long summers day. However, theres a way that you can make the perfect fruit salad even better. Thats right: substantial uses of the white stuff! Get out your cream chargers and use them to give the tang and ripeness of the fruit a real richness that will truly enhance both sides of the flavor spectrum. Whether its rich, thick and single or fluffy, light and doubled up, cream is the perfect companion for fruit.
On desserts. Whilst we have nothing but love for the uses that weve listed above, we have to admit that the special love comes out when cream starts getting lavished on the dessert world. Whether you prefer the satisfying crunch and tartness of a blackcurrant crumble or would much rather bathe in the sheer luxury that comes from a gloriously rich tiramisu, a big dollop from your cream charger will be the perfect companion to the perfect sweet.
On savouries. Alright, not necessarily the most popular option, but youd be amazed at the multitude of uses that are available for cream chargers within savoury dishes. For starters, theres the possibility of creating beautifully creamy sauces for pasta: some of the most luxurious accompaniments include cream combined with such flavours as peppercorn and white wine to provide the real taste of Italy. As well as this, theres also the option to create some beautiful pastry dishes, such as quiche or stroganoff, both of which remain perennial favourites.
Hopefully this article has inspired you to be able to get your cream chargers out there and start creating some beautiful new recipes. Good luck, and happy culinary experiences to all!
