French White Chocolate Cream Dessert
A silky French-style white chocolate cream made with egg yolks and heavy cream, this elegant dessert is simple to prepare and perfect served with fresh berries.
Ingredients
- 250 g white chocolate finely chopped
- 300 ml heavy cream
- 3 medium egg yolks
For Serving:
- blackberries or any other fruit of choice
Instructions
- Place a small pot over medium heat, then add the heavy cream and heat it slightly without bringing it to a boil.
- Place the egg yolks in a bowl and beat them with a whisk. Slowly add a small amount of the hot cream to the yolks while whisking constantly to temper them.
- Transfer the mixture from the bowl to the pot and stir constantly until the mixture reaches 88-90°C (190-195°F). Use an instant-read or probe thermometer to read the temperature as it's the easiest and most reliable way to do it.
- When it reaches that temperature, remove the pot from the heat, add the white chocolate and stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the white chocolate cream into jars and allow to cool (keep it in the fridge until ready to serve).
- Top with blackberries or any berries you like, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
Chef's Tip: Add a little hot cream to the eggs while whisking to temper them and prevent curdling when they are added back to the cream.
