Traditional and Bimby recipe.
Chantilly cream is the ultimate cream in pastry.
Used as a filling for the most important and elegant cakes, it is also suitable for small pastry decorations, etc.
The Italian version is a diplomatic cream, made from pastry cream that gives it consistency and flavor, and whipped cream, which gives it softness.
While in the original French version it absolutely does not use pastry cream, so the cream is not suitable for decorations but only for fillings.

Traditional recipe
Pastry cream.
In a saucepan, heat the milk with the scraped seeds from a vanilla pod and the pod itself, and the lemon peel without the white part. Bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, separately, using the whisks of an electric mixer or a stand mixer, beat the yolks and sugar until you obtain a fluffy and frothy mixture. Then add the cornstarch or rice if you are celiac, and continue to beat.
When the milk mixture starts to boil slowly, add the beaten eggs, pouring it over the milk, and wait for the first bubbles to appear on the surface.
At this point, remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir with a whisk. The cream will thicken immediately.
Transfer it to a wide and shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap in contact with the surface, and let it cool
While the pastry cream is cooling, place the whipping cream in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, and preferably also the bowl of your stand mixer or the container where you will whip the cream if you are using electric whisks.
