on

The Confectioners sugar can be replaced by granulated sugar.

Chantilly can be flavored with additional extracts, liqueurs, spices, purees, or


zests.
This crme is very sensitive to warm temperatures and therefore should be kept as
chilled as possible at all times to keep its structure.
You can use this crme to cover, decorate, or garnish pies, tarts, cakes, and much
more!
Depending on what you are using this crme for, soft, medium, or stiff peaks can be
achieved. DO NOT over whip the cream; over whipping is unforgivable and will
result in the fat separating and you having to start over!
If youre feeling up to the challenge this crme can be whipped by hand with a
whisk until desired consistency is reached.

GLOSSARY
BLOOM
Refers to blooming gelatin in cold water before adding it to a mixture.
BOIL
To heat a liquid to its boiling point, until bubbles break the surface. "Boil" also means to cook food in a
boiling liquid.
CARAMELIZE
To heat sugar until it liquefies and become a clear caramel syrup ranging in color from golden to dark brown.
CHOP
To cut food into bite-size pieces using a knife. A food processor may also be used to chop food. Chopped
food is more coarsely cut than minced food.
CREAM
To whip a fat usually butter, and sugar together until a creamy consistency with no lumps.
CUT
To mix a solid, cold fat (such as butter or shortening) with dry ingredients (such as a flour mixture) until the
combination is in the form of small particles.
DOCK
Use a fork to poke tiny holes in the dough so the steam can escape and the dough will not develop blisters.
DREDGE
To lightly coat food.
DRY METHOD
Refers to the cartelization of sugar by placing sugar in a saucepan without the use of a liquid.
EGG WASH
Egg yolk or egg white mixed with a small amount of water or milk. Brush onto pie crusts to give them a
sheen look, or use as a glue to stick pie dough onto pie dough.
FOLD
To combine a light mixture like beaten egg whites with a much heavier mixture like whipped cream. In a
large bowl, place the lighter mixture on top of the heavier one. Starting at the back of the bowl, using the
edge of a rubber spatula, cut down through the middle of both mixtures, across the bottom of the bowl and up
the near side. Rotate the bowl a quarter turn and repeat. This process gently combines the two mixtures.
GARNISH
A decorative edible addition to pies or tarts to give them an appealing look. Garnishes should tell what is
actually inside the product so there are no surprises.
LATTICE TOP
A top crust for a pie or tart. Long or short flake should be used for this top. It is like a knitted top for a pie.
MELT
Using heat to convert food (such as butter or chocolate) from a solid to a liquid or semiliquid.
MERINQUE
A mixture of egg whites and sugar whipped until stiff. Meringue can be used on top of pies and tarts or
folded into some fillings to make a lighter product.
SET
When the food becomes firm.
SLURRY
A thin paste of water and flour/cornstarch, which is stirred into hot preparations as a thickener. After the
slurry is added, the mixture should be stirred and cooked for several minutes in order for the flour to lose its
raw taste. When using cornstarch the starch does not have to be cooked off, and the product will have a
shinier look.
24

STEEP
To extract a flavor into a liquid by letting the product sit in the liquid either at room temperature, on low
