Ingredients and Equipment
To create a delectable whipped berry foam, you need to select the right ingredients and use essential equipment. The blend of fresh berries and whipped cream chargers ensures a sweet and tangy topping for your favourite desserts and drinks.
Selecting the Right Ingredients
- Fresh Berries: Choose a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a balanced flavour. Ensure they are fresh for the best taste.
- Heavy Whipping Cream: This is the base for your foam, providing a rich texture. Opt for high-fat content whipping cream.
- Granulated Sugar: Add sweetness to your foam. Adjust the quantity to suit your taste.
- Vanilla Extract: A small amount adds depth to the flavour without overpowering the berries.
Essential Equipment for Preparation
- Blender: Necessary for pureeing the berries and mixing them with other ingredients.
- Mixing Bowl: Use this to combine the cream, sugar, and vanilla before adding the puree.
- Whisk Attachment: This helps in whipping the mixture to the right consistency before transferring it to the siphon.
- Siphon: A critical tool for creating a light, airy foam. Use a FastGas whipped cream charger to infuse air and create the perfect texture.
- Optional Accessories: You may also want a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds from the berry puree.
