Crème Chiboust
 Total Time |
|---|
| 30 minutes |
Ingredients
some crème pâtissière- some italian meringue
- 7 g Gelatin (optional)
Cookware
- 1 bowl
Instructions
Step 1
Combine equal amounts of crème pâtissière and italian meringue by folding one third of the hot meringue into the warm pastry cream and then the rest of the meringue.
Step 2
Gelatin may be added to the custard to thicken it.
Note
Please remember that the Crème Chiboust is very delicate and can become "dangerous" since the pastry cream is left at room temperature for some time, during which bacteria could form in it.
Note
To avoid risks while you prepare the meringue, you can cover the bowl with plastic film on the pastry cream and additionally you could also place temporarily the bowl on a bain-marie: this will keep the cream at safe temperatures and prevent the formation of bacteria.
Note
If the cream needs to be baked (e.g. to fill tarts), you can omit the gelatin.
Note
It might be necessary to let the cream set a few minutes in the fridge before it can used in a piping bag.
