Crème chantilly, what is it ?

I'm sure you really like "crème chantilly" : whipped cream.

If you want to make "crème chantilly", you need "crème fleurette" it's the best. Just put a bottle of cream in the fridge, it must be cold otherwise you will never succeed.
Then it's easy, whip until you obtain a beautiful foam

Be careful, it you whip for too long, then it will become butter!!
If you want to make sweet chantilly, add "sucre glace". You'll find "sucre glace" close the other kinds of sugar in your supermarket. "Sucre glace" is packaged in a plastic bottle. It's a very light sugar, it looks like a powder and it's not crunchy at all.

If you don't want to make your own chantilly, just buy "une bombe de crème chantilly" in your supermarket, rayon frais (refrigerated aisle) close to "crème fraîche".

Sorry, mine is a Japanese one, anyway, it's very close to what you will find in your supermarket !

As the season is coming, if you want a very simple but tasty dessert, I suggest you try : fraises à la chantilly.
So easy : slice a few straberries, add a spoon of chantilly on top !

Bon appétit !!!
