An Italian Chantilly or Diplomatic Cream is a soft cream with a delicate taste, it is perfect for accompanying cakes, pies, various leavened goods, and cookies in general.
Chantilly is certainly a sweet sauce that pairs beautifully with a classic pastry like Sponge Cake and was invented by the French Vatel in 1671.
The Italian Chantilly consists of the union of whipped cream with custard, and the different proportion of the two creams determines the different consistency.
Generally, the proportion is 1/3 or 2/3, so for a firmer cream, you can use more custard, or if you want it light and very soft, add more whipped cream in proportion.
Mine is a middle ground because it is light and fluffy, but it remains quite firm even if piped with a pastry bag and a star nozzle….
