Aromhuset’s Strawberry essence for whipped cream gives pastries, desserts, cakes and other goodies both flavour and colour. The cream essences can be used in both regular cream and whipped cream, and are suitable for use in cream-whippers. The Strawberry essence contains neither sugar nor artificial sweetener, yet has a rich flavour of our beloved red berry.

Aromhuset previously released essences for table water and, and is now extending the range with flavors developed specifically for whipped cream. There are three flavors in the whipped cream range – Strawberry, Chocolate and Blueberry.

The Strawberry essence for whipped cream adds both the taste of strawberry and a lovely pink color. Dose according to the instructions (or possibly a little extra if you want more flavor or a more intense color) which is one capful for every two decilitres of liquid cream. A cap holds three ml of essence, which is one tenth of the small bottle. One bottle of Aromhuset’s Strawberry essence for whipped cream is therefore enough for about 20 liters of cream. All Aromhuset’s flavours are available at reasonable prices from www.allt-fraktfritt.se.

Most of us love sweet things yet often try and restrain ourselves, so it is often the occasional treat that is missing from our lives. Diets like Atkins and LCHF have gained a lot of followers over the last few years, but since the diets rule out carbohydrates everything containing sugar is forbidden. Whipped cream contains only fat, and with a little flavour from Aromhuset’s Strawberry essence the cream becomes both tasty and festive. A few chopped nuts and Strawberry cream is a nice “treat”, and if, despite everything, you would like to add sweetness then it is easy to sweeten the cream with Sucralose, which can also be bought from Gert Strand AB.

Cream works well with many different things, from cakes to ice-cream, cookies, on coffee, in hot chocolate, together with berries or nuts, or simply on its own. You can sweeten the cream to add more flavour, or just leave it as it is. When you flavour your cream you also add colour, with the Strawberry essence turning the cream pink, which is especially festive with fresh berries, ice-cream, or on a birthday cake.

Whipped cream can either be whipped by hand, with an electric whisk, or in a cream-whipper. Whipping cream by hand takes time, and most people today have an electric whisk. A cream-whipper is even simpler to use, and also provides a professional delivery method without the extra mess or washing up. When you use a cream-whipper you simply put the essence in with the cream before putting in the gas capsule, so they are mixed in the syphon itself. With this simple method you can create pastries that look as if they have come direct from the bakery, as well as tasting great, and it is great fun too! They should be served straight after adding the cream, since the cream sinks quickly.

Whether you like whipped cream and enjoy being festive occasionally, or you have a genuine passion for baking, then Aromhuset’s Strawberry essence for whipped cream is really a welcome addition to the larder.
