Valentine's Dessert
On the left: chantilly cream (a heavenly light and sweet cream) with a raspberry drizzle. My mom used to make this for Valentine's when we were kids. I didn't really remember it until I tasted it but it was really good and SUPER SUPER EASY. Beat cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar. Separately beat whipping cream until firm and then fold into the cream mixture. Very light, very tasty cream. Heavenly!
In the middle: a chocolate espresso cake dome filled with a blackberry mousse and a blackberry cream drizzle on top. Although we agreed that it was the prettiest of the three it wasn't as deliciously tasty as I'd hoped. Good though...
On the right: a meringue cookie with a pastry cream and strawberry compote. There was also a chocolate drizzle on top. Although it wasn't very pretty, it was tasty. Although, it takes a little work and we've had it before. If I were to pick just one to have again, it'd be the chantilly cream.
