In the past, I wrote\u00a0on the blog\u00a0about Chiboust cream<\/a> or mousseline cream<\/a><\/strong>, which are variations on pastry cream<\/strong> with the addition of Italian meringue and creamed butter respectively.<\/p>\n

Diplomat cream <\/strong>(which for some mysterious reason in Italy is mistakenly called “Chantilly”) is another famous variation made of pastry cream with gelatin and whipped cream<\/strong> (optionally a bit of liqueur).<\/p>\n

I haven’t found a standard recipe for this cream: the amount of heavy cream depends<\/strong> on the desired lightness and use. A diplomat cream with a higher ratio of whipped cream<\/strong> to pastry cream\u00a0will be perceived as lighter.<\/p>\n

This diplomat cream can be\u00a0used mainly as cake and tart filling<\/strong>: some notable examples are fresh fruit tarts<\/strong>, and\u00a0napoleons<\/a>, where diplomat cream is a great alternative to simple pastry cream.<\/p>\n

My previous post was on breton shortbread, and this one is for a tart filling. Can you guess what the next post will be about?<\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
