STRAWBERRY & BASIL TEA SANDWICHES WITH DEVONSHIRE CREAM RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by davidv
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Combine the Devonshire cream, basil, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Fold until well combined. Spread a thin layer of the cream on one side of each slice of bread. Add an even layer of cucumber slices to four of the bread slices then top the cucumbers with an even layer of strawberry slices. Place the other four slices of bread (with the cream) cream-side down on the strawberry slices. Slice the crust off the sandwiches. Then slice each sandwich into 4 small triangles. COOK'S NOTES: You can make your own Devonshire cream with cream cheese, sugar, and heavy cream. Just beat 4 oz of cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Slowly add a 1/2 cup of heavy cream and mix until stiff peaks form.
Tips:
- Use the freshest cream possible. Fresh cream will produce the best results.
- Make sure the cream is cold. Cold cream will whip up more easily and hold its shape better.
- Use a whisk or electric mixer. A whisk or electric mixer will help you incorporate air into the cream and create a light and fluffy whipped cream.
- Whip the cream gradually. Don't over-whip the cream, or it will become grainy.
- Add sugar or other flavorings to taste. You can add sugar, vanilla extract, or other flavorings to the whipped cream to taste.
- Serve the whipped cream immediately. Whipped cream is best served immediately after it is made.
Conclusion:
Devonshire cream is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be flavored to taste. Whether you are using it to top a trifle, fill a pastry, or simply enjoy it on its own, Devonshire cream is sure to please.
