Cuisine
Crémet de Rambouillet is a traditional dairy dessert with deep historical roots around the Rambouillet forest region in the south of Yvelines. Made by delicately folding fresh curd cheese, thick cream, and whipped egg whites, the mixture is drained in cheesecloths to give it a cloud-like, airy texture. Usually topped with fresh wild berries or coulis, you can locate the local farms and bistros serving this delicacy via the Harita section. It represents a refined segment of artisanal dairy craftsmanship native to France.
Ingredients
- 250g fresh curd cheese (or fromage blanc)
- 150ml heavy whipping cream
- 2 egg whites
- 30g powdered sugar
- Fresh raspberries or strawberry coulis for serving
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk the fresh curd cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
- Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cheese mixture.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff, then carefully fold them into the mixture in three stages using a spatula.
- Divide the mixture into perforated molds lined with cheesecloth and let drain in the fridge for at least 6 hours before serving with berries.
