Whipped Cream Foam or Whipped Cream

4 servings

Ingredients

• cream (from the day before) (as needed)
• 1 pcs vanilla
• sugar (as needed)

Instructions

1. Slit the vanilla bean lengthwise and let it infuse in the cream for about an hour, then remove.
2. The cream must be very cold, and whipping should be done in a cool place.
3. Whip the cream evenly and quickly with a whisk.
4. Skim off the foam that forms on top and place it on a fine-mesh sieve; return any drained liquid to the cream and continue whipping until all of it has turned into foam.
5. Finally, sweeten to taste with finely crushed sugar.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
