Chantilly Fruit Topping Food

CHANTILLY FRUIT TOPPING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream, honey, orange juice and cinnamon; beat until smooth. Serve with berries. Refrigerate leftovers.

FRENCH CHANTILLY CREAM (CRèME CHANTILLY)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large mixing bowl , beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together on high speed until soft peaks form.
• Use as your recipe directs. Chill any unused Chantilly cream.

RASPBERRY COULIS

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients in a small food processor or use a stick blender to blitz until very smooth.
• Set a sieve over a jug. Tip the mixture into the sieve and push through the liquid using a spatula. Discard the seeds. The coulis is ready to use. Will keep refrigerated in an airtight jar for up to two days.

CHANTILLY CREAM (CREME CHANTILLY)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients.
• Using a hand whisk (balloon whisk) or electric whisk, beat the cream in a stainless steel or glass or china bowl (not plastic- doesn't seem to whip as well).
• It is whipped properly when it is still soft and billowy but holds its shape when the whisk is withdrawn.
• Once the cream is whipped, cover and store in the fridge.
• If it separates slightly, just rewhip to restore its thickness.

MERINGUES CHANTILLY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a small glass and a pencil, draw 6 (3 1/2-inch) circles on each piece of paper. Turn the paper face-down on the baking sheets.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and a large pinch of salt on medium speed until frothy. Add 1 cup of the sugar and raise the speed to high until the egg whites form very stiff peaks. Whisk in the vanilla. Carefully fold the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar into the meringue. With a large star - shaped pastry tip, pipe a disc of meringue inside each circle. Pipe another layer around the edge to form the sides of the shells.
• Bake for 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and crisp but not browned. Turn off the heat and allow the meringues to sit in the oven for 4 hours or overnight.
• Spread some of the sauce from the stewed berries on each plate. Place a meringue on top and fill with whipped cream. Top with berries and serve.
• Whip the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When it starts to thicken, add the sugar, vanilla and orange liqueur and continue to whip until the cream forms stiff peaks. Don't overbeat, or you'll end up with butter!
• Combine the blueberries, one-half pint of raspberries, the sugar and zest in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. The juice will become a syrup and the berries will be slightly cooked. Off the heat, stir in the remaining raspberries and the framboise. Set aside.

FRUIT CRISP TOPPING

• Here is the recipe I use to make a topping for peach and apple crisps:.
• In sm bowl, mix brown sugar & flour; cut in butter; stir in oats.Sprinkle over prepared fruit in 8x8" pan.

• For an 8x8" pan, you would need appx 4 c of fruit, prepared to your taste (sugar, spices, extract, flour, etc.) or two 15oz cans of canned fruit (dummped into 8x8" pan).

CHANTILLY FROSTING

Steps:

• Combine milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla in the top portion of a double boiler, or in a bowl placed over a saucepan of boiling water.
• Cook over medium heat until thick, about 12 minutes, stirring constantly to keep the eggs from scrambling and the frosting from clumping.
• Remove from heat. Add coconut and/or nuts if desired. Cool, stirring occasionally, until thick enough to spread.
• Makes enough to frost a 9- by-13-inch cake or two 8-inch layers.
