*) The tonge-in-cheek, aristocratic sounding name of the lady-in-waiting
is an allusion to an Austrian pastry, the Schaumrolle:
Schaumrolle @ Wikipedia
"Schaumrollen, or Schillerlocken, are an Austrian confection. They consist of a cone or tube of pastry, often filled with whipped cream. Also called foam rollers, they are a bags or roll-shaped puff pastry, which is sweetened with whipped cream, or sometimes filled with an unsweetened cream puree."
Merisi's note: I do not know what "cream puree" is, but from what I understand, the alternate to whipped cream tastes like Italian meringue, made by slowly adding boiling hot sugar sirup to whipped egg whites. That makes a fluffy, sweet filling, and does not soften the puff pastry shell, unlike the whipped cream (the later is for immediate consumption).
That is quite an elaborate creation!
ReplyDeleteThose talented pastry chefs have a grand sense of humor! Now I know where I should go if I seek cream puree. It does sound delicious. xo
ReplyDeleteOne to remember.
