After a hearty meal, many look forward to a delicious dessert. In this article, we will show you how you can create the perfect chocolate cream.
Chocolate cream – that’s how it works perfectly
For a delicious chocolate cream, you need the following ingredients: 200g couverture, 3 egg yolks, 40ml milk, 200ml cream, and some cinnamon and ginger powder to taste
- Put the couverture in a metal bowl. The bowl should be temperature resistant. Heat the couverture over a water bath.
- Add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and ginger powder to the melted couverture.
- Get a second bowl. Put in the yolk.
- Mix the egg yolk with some milk. Beat the mass until it is creamy.
- Carefully add the melted couverture to the egg yolk and milk mixture. Fold in the chocolate.
- Whip the cream and fold it into the mixture in small amounts. Be careful not to whip the cream too stiff. It should have a creamy consistency.
- Pour the chocolate cream into small dessert bowls. Chill the dessert for at least an hour.
Tips for a successful chocolate cream
Use the following tips to conjure up the perfect chocolate cream:
- Top the chocolate cream with chocolate sprinkles. Fresh raspberries or strawberries are also suitable.
- Use pasteurized egg whites from the pack for the cream and take them out of the fridge well in advance of serving. The egg white causes the cream to have a harder firmness than regular eggs.
- Use a serrated knife to chop the chocolate.
- Do not whip the cream completely. Otherwise, it does not combine so well with the couverture.
- For raw eggs, make sure they are completely chilled and fresh.
- The more cocoa in the chocolate, the better the chocolate cream binds.
- A water bath should never be too hot. As little as 30 degrees is enough to melt the chocolate. Otherwise, the chocolate may curdle or clump.
- Always fold in the cream. This makes the cream creamy and fluffy.
