Sour cream, whipped with granulated sugar or powdered sugar, is an excellent base for desserts. It can be used for spreading cakes, pouring berry pies, making mousses and fruit creams. Making sour cream at home is a snap. You just need to purchase quality products and follow the technology.
It is necessary
-
- 1 glass of sour cream;
- 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar or granulated sugar;
- 5 g vanilla sugar;
- 1 teaspoon cocoa
- 0.5 cups 35% cream;
- 1 teaspoon of gelatin grains.
Instructions
Step 1
Buy high-fat sour cream. Ideally, you want a high quality product with 30% fat, but 20% sour cream will work as well. It should be fresh, moderately sour, with no signs of fermentation. If you come across a liquid product, strain it through two layers of cheesecloth in a colander.
Step 2
Cool the sour cream before whipping. Place it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
Step 3
Beat the cream with a fork, whisk or mixer. Place the sour cream in a deep bowl or saucepan. Place the container in cold water or ice and beat in quick, even movements until a creamy, but firm enough cream is obtained. A sign of readiness is the appearance of stable “peaks” on the surface. This mixture is used to cover the surface of muffins or berry pies or serve as a sauce for pancakes and pancakes.
Step 4
Sift the icing sugar, mix it with the vanilla or vanilla sugar and add it in portions to the cream. Whisk it again until smooth. Instead of powder, you can take granulated sugar.
Step 5
If you need a more fluffy cream, whip the sour cream with cream. Pour chilled cream into a saucepan, add sour cream, place it in cold water. Beat the mixture until a thick foam forms, which should hold onto the raised whisk. Without stopping whipping, add powdered sugar, sand and a little vanillin to the cream. This cream is suitable for spreading cake layers, filling tubes and making fruit desserts.
Step 6
Try changing the taste of the sour cream. At the end of the whipping process, add sugar mixed with cocoa powder to the mass. Stir the mixture thoroughly. You will get an airy cream with a delicate chocolate flavor. It can be used to fill cakes and decorate the surface of cakes.
Step 7
From whipped sour cream, you can make a cream with gelatin. Place the grains or plates of gelatin in a glass, add half a glass of cream, stir and wait until it swells. Place a glass in hot water and stir the cream until the gelatin grains are completely dissolved. Refrigerate the mixture.
Step 8
Prepare the cream according to the basic recipe. At the end of whipping, pour a mixture of gelatin and cream into the fluffy sour cream in a thin stream. Stir the cream thoroughly.
