Cooking secrets
Delicate and sweet creams are used not only for interlayers and decorating confectionery, but also as an independent dessert. How can you resist this delicious, melting in your mouth? Making pastry creams is a real art that can be easily learned by following simple rules. Let's try!
Butter cream, as the name implies, is prepared on the basis of butter made from high quality cream. For him, it is better to take a product with a fat content of at least 82.5%, otherwise the cream will exfoliate or flow.
The simplest confectionery butter creams are made on the basis of butter and condensed milk with the addition of vanilla sugar, sometimes brandy. Such a mass is ideal for eclairs, cookies "Nuts", buns and cakes like "Anthill".
The sugar-butter cream is also interesting in taste. It is made from eggs and sugar, heated in a saucepan with constant stirring. As soon as the mixture thickens, it is combined with butter, whipped with powdered sugar in advance. Sometimes you can find milk and cognac in the recipe. This is the perfect cream for cakes and pastries!
Butter cream is even made from sour cream, but here the main condition is its freshness and sufficient fat content - at least 25%. Of course, first beat the butter with a mixer with powdered sugar, and then add sour cream in a spoon so that the mass is homogeneous. At the very end, pour in a little lemon juice, a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and voila - the pastry cream is ready to use!
Novice housewives are often interested in how soft the oil should be before preparing the cream. If it squeezes easily with your finger, then it's ready to be whipped. Instead of sugar, it is better to use powdered sugar, otherwise the grains will crunch on your teeth, and the cream should be very delicate, light, airy!
If you cook a cream with butter and condensed milk, it can stratify. The reason is the difference in temperature of the products or too long whipping. But saving the cream is easy - you need to warm it up and beat it again.
Butter creams are even more delicious when you add berry or fruit syrup, coffee, cocoa, cinnamon, cardamom and other aromatic spices to them.
Butter cream can also be custard. Confectioners recommend sandwiching them with shortbread cakes, cakes "" and "". This filling turns out to be unusually tender and tasty.
Heat 300 ml of milk, add 7 tbsp. l. sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Sift 3 tbsp. l. flour, combine with a small amount of milk to obtain a homogeneous consistency, and then pour in a little more milk (200 ml in total). The dairy mixture should be like sour cream, without lumps.
Now mix the flour and milk mixture, bring to a boil and cook for 1.5-2 minutes, and then refrigerate. Beat 400 g of soft butter with a mixer, gradually adding the custard mixture to it. If you are cooking for adults, add 2 tsp into the cream. rum or cognac for a savory aroma. This cream sounds very fresh even in the usual traditional desserts.
Confectionery protein cream - the most delicate, light and even more airy than butter. It is used to stuff tubes, fill baskets and decorate cakes. But for a layer of biscuits, it is not suitable, since it quickly settles and is absorbed.
To make a protein cream, only egg whites and sugar are needed, although sometimes vanilla and lemon juice are added to them, making the cream thicker and denser.
The whites are whipped with lemon juice until the mass becomes fluffy, and then sugar or freshly boiled sugar syrup is added, always warm. An important point is that when sugar is added to the proteins, you need to whip the cream at low mixer speeds. If necessary, add lemon juice to the cream again, and when the mixture becomes very fluffy, the mixer can be turned off. This is how the protein cream for delicate eclairs is prepared. For the cake, the cream is prepared differently. The whites are whipped until fluffy, warmed up in a water bath until foam appears and whipped again. Only then is sugar added and the cream is whipped again. At the end, according to the established tradition, a pinch of salt and lemon juice are added to it.
If you want a protein confectionery cream, the recipe of which can be very different, turned out to be ideal, you will have to follow some rules.
The dishes and whisk in which you will whisk the cream must be clean and dry. If there is even a drop of fat in the bowl, the protein mixture will not be airy and light enough, which will affect the quality of the cream. For reliability, wipe the dishes and whisk with lemon juice and let dry. The best utensils for whipping whites are metal or glass, and the most suitable temperature is low. Chilled whites work best, so many pastry chefs put the bowl in cold water while they prepare the cream. The cooler the temperature, the thicker the foam!
First, the whites are beaten at a slow speed, after the appearance of yellow foam, the speed increases, and at the end of beating, it usually reaches its maximum level. As soon as stable peaks are formed, the beating can be stopped.
For decorating cakes, cupcakes and pastries, especially for coating the sides of pastries, the protein cream can be mixed with butter. Protein-oil cream is more stable and keeps its shape perfectly.
For a layer of cakes, a protein cream prepared with boiled condensed milk is more suitable, and for thicker desserts, gelatin is added to the proteins.
A thick protein cream that is suitable for Bird's Milk desserts and for decorating desserts can be prepared with gelatin. Here's a recipe for pastry cream for decorating cakes and cupcakes! It's very simple. 2 tbsp. l. pour 10 tbsp of gelatin. l. boiled water and leave for a while to swell the gelatin. After that, heat the gelatinous mass without boiling: the gelatin grains should completely dissolve.
Whisk 5 chilled whites with 1 tsp. citric acid. As soon as the mass becomes fluffy, light, airy, pour the cooled gelatin into it in a thin stream, continuing to beat, but the speed of the mixer should be slow. After 7-8 minutes, the cream is ready, and you can fill cakes with it or decorate the cake. After that, it is better to put the confectionery products in the refrigerator so that the cream hardens. It can be poured into bowls, garnished with fruits, nuts, chocolate chips and also allowed to stand in the cold. This delicate dessert will appeal to all those with a sweet tooth!
What could be tastier than delicate whipped cream? They are used to fill eclairs, profiteroles, decorate sweet pastries and eat just like that, decorating the dessert with fruits and berries. Whipping cream is much easier than whipping egg whites, as you can see for yourself. To do this, you need to pour cold cream into a bowl and beat it with a mixer, gradually increasing the speed. As soon as the cream thickens, add a little vanilla sugar and continue beating, then add more powder and beat again. The finished cream becomes very thick and keeps its shape perfectly. As for the proportions, for 500 ml of cream you will need about 50-60 g of powdered sugar, or a little more if you like sweets.
Alternatively, you can use an herbal counterpart instead of regular animal cream. Experts assure that such cream whips faster, but it is unlikely that a vegetable product can be considered useful. If you only have dry cream available, you can make a cream based on it. To do this, mix 5 tbsp. l. product with 120 ml of water, stir well, and then pour in 200 ml of milk and put in the cold.
The colder the cream, the easier it is to whip, so leave it in the fridge for 24 hours before preparing the cream. Placing the mixer bowl and whisk in the freezer for at least 20 minutes will make it even easier for you. In this case, the dishes must be dry and clean, because even a drop of moisture will complicate the preparation of the cream.
Use powdered sugar or syrup instead of sugar so that the cream is tender and does not grind on your teeth. And the most important rule is to whip the cream just before serving the dessert, since they have the property of releasing moisture, so the cream will lose its shape and spectacular appearance.
For taste and aesthetics, you can add a few drops of food coloring, chocolate or coffee to the finished cream. Some recipes for butter cream will surprise you with the proximity to other products - sour cream, butter, mascarpone, ricotta, cottage cheese and condensed milk.
Try making a cream cheese cream that's incredibly soft and delicious. Start by whisking 250 ml heavy homemade cream and refrigerating. At this time, soak 10 g of gelatin in 50 ml of water and leave for 10 minutes.
Rub 500 g of cottage cheese through a sieve and beat it with a blender on medium speed, add 100 g of powdered sugar, a pinch of vanilla and 1 tsp. orange peel. Whisk a little, pour in the gelatin mixture and combine all the ingredients in a mixer at maximum speed.
It remains to add the cream, gently stirring it into the cream with a spoon. You won't need any kitchen appliances at this stage. Place the cream in the refrigerator to soak in the citrus scent and thicken slightly. The main thing is to refrain from tasting at this stage, otherwise the cream will have to be redone ...
Cheese cream has a denser consistency and looks more like cottage cheese. It can be used to decorate any desserts, but cupcakes and eclairs are especially tasty. Mascarpone, ricotta, Philadelphia and any soft cream or curd cheese are suitable for making this cream. The simplest cream is prepared on the basis of mascarpone, for which you need to beat 500 g of cheese and a can of condensed milk with a mixer. Cream cheese, whipped with sour cream, turns out to be very tasty, but in this case the addition of powdered sugar is required. If you mix cream cheese, condensed milk, and whipped cream, the cream tastes even better.

Oh, guys, I myself do not believe that I am writing this, but I finally matured: for many months I had the idea to collect up to a heap all my favorite recipes for cream for a biscuit cake. And so, thanks to your numerous requests and entreaties :))), I still decided to flaunt all the ins and outs of their cakes.
Biscuit cream is, of course, a relative concept. The recipes that I will outline below are you can use not only in combination with biscuit, but also in other cakes, cupcakes, tartlets, eclairs and other desserts.
If you need a sponge cake for a cake, then by clicking on the link, you will find and also .
And before starting the recipes, I will tell you something very important, which you hardly guessed. Since many of today's recipes feature cream, here's a secret trick from baking queen Martha Stewart:
If you accidentally whip the cream and see that it has already started to curl, simply add a couple of tablespoons of cold liquid cream and stir gently. This will return the cream to the desired state.
So let's get started. There is a lot of material today. I promise it will be interesting.
I'll start with the freshest one that I tasted just today.
This is a very delicate cream with a refined, non-challenging taste and vanilla aroma.
Personally, this cream in finished form reminded me very much of mascarpone cheese.
If desired, this cream is combined with fruit or berry puree. Or you can add a handful of chocolate drops.
Do not whip the cream too hard or it may curl when you stir it with the ricotta.
Perhaps this cream is the most frequent guest in my house. I use it not only for biscuit cakes, but also for. And - this is generally space!
I change the fruity component of this cream and each time I get a completely new taste and color. But even without extraneous additives, cream with mascarpone superb.
The extra cooling will help us whip the cream much faster.
Put the cream in the refrigerator before assembling the cake.

You can find more cheese cream recipes in my article "".
This cream is one of my favorite oil creams. He comes from the Soviet Union. Everyone remembers the Prague cake? Here, it was with this cream that our iconic Soviet cake was prepared.
Be careful not to bring the mixture to a boil, otherwise the yolks will cook.
Do not refrigerate such a cream before use.
Another recipe with our favorite condensed milk, but this time with boiled and with the addition of whipped cream, which makes the cream more airy and light. I really liked this alternative to heavy oil cream.
If you do not plan to work with the cream right away, then refrigerate it before using it.
It pairs perfectly with a juicy soaked biscuit. If you prefer buttercreams in biscuits, then this recipe is for you.
Charlotte's cream does not need to be cooled before assembling the cake.
Cream for lovers of cottage cheese. Personally, I don't particularly read curd cakes. I like the more sophisticated taste of ricotta. But knowing about the tender feelings for cottage cheese of many of you, I publish the following recipe.
If you have wet curd, weigh it in cheesecloth for a few hours.
For a sponge cake, we need a thick sour cream that will keep its shape well. Otherwise, the cream will saturate the biscuit and the cake will turn into porridge.
Therefore, for sour cream, we need the fattest sour cream.
Put the cream in the refrigerator before assembling the cake.
This recipe is an accidental invention of mine. But despite this, the cream turned out to be very tasty and unusual. The consistency is approximately like sour cream.
If you want a more chocolatey flavor or a firmer cream, double the amount of chocolate.
I learned this recipe at pastry courses. Although I can already be wrong - it was a long time ago. But the most important thing is that this cream is very tasty and rather unusual.
The cream is ready to use.
Cream Diplomat is a combination of custard and whipped cream. Especially good in chocolate. But vanilla with fruit or berries is also very good.
You can add any fruit or berries you wish to the ready-made Diplomat cream. And the cream is ready to use.
Perhaps the simplest and most affordable cream of all.
After cooling, the cream is ready to assemble the cake.
Another economical cream, but in certain combinations it is incomparable. In this recipe, we brew egg whites, so you can not be afraid of any bacteria. Protein cream goes well with sour fillings. For example, you can layer your sponge cake and coat the cake with this cream.
The only difficulty is for this recipe a kitchen thermometer is required ( can be bought here).
It is important not to overbeat the proteins, otherwise the mass will begin to fall off. After the whites have been whipped into a stable fluffy mass, reduce the mixer speed to medium.
For true connoisseurs of chocolate - the richest chocolate cream.
After that, the ganache is ready to use. You no longer need to stir or beat it.
One of the very fresh recipes for a cream with an amazing taste.
The cream is kept in the refrigerator until the cake is assembled.
I think that's enough for a start. If you have any wishes, write in the comments. We will supplement.
Note that recipes Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, as well as 13, 14 and 15 suitable for both filling and leveling biscuit cakes. In other cases, for leveling and finishing, it is better to use whipped cream with a spoonful of powdered sugar.
Oh, and I will also add that almost all of today's recipes are not very sweet and are designed for biscuits soaked in sweet syrup. Please bear this in mind.
