Chantilly cream, also called crème Chantilly, is essentially sweetened whipped cream. Its origins trace back to France, where it became a staple in patisserie for filling, topping, and decorating elegant desserts. Unlike plain whipped cream, Chantilly has just the right amount of sugar to enhance desserts without overpowering them ✨.
Using cream with at least 30% fat is key for stability and that dreamy whipped texture.
With this easy recipe, you’ll never reach for store-bought whipped cream again. In just 10 minutes, you can make a silky, airy Chantilly cream that feels straight out of a Parisian pâtisserie 🇫🇷✨.
