Scale
Cream and Sweet Ingredients:
- 700 grams (24.7 ounces) heavy cream
- 120 grams (4.2 ounces) powdered sugar, sifted
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 pinch salt
Filling:
- Raspberry jam (or jam of your choice), to finish
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream (236 milliliters or ) with powdered sugar (60 grams or ), vanilla bean paste (5 milliliters or ), and a small pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft, billowy peaks develop, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully slice each cream bun vertically through the center, ensuring the cut does not separate the bun completely, creating a delicate pocket for filling.
- Transfer the whipped cream mixture into a piping bag fitted with a decorative star-shaped tip, preparing for precise and elegant filling.
- Gently pipe the airy whipped cream into the center of each partially sliced cream bun, creating a luxurious and voluminous interior.
- Elegantly spoon or pipe fresh raspberry jam (approximately 30 milliliters or ) atop the cream, allowing the vibrant red color to contrast with the white cream.
- Delicately dust the filled cream buns with an additional light sprinkle of powdered sugar, enhancing their visual appeal and adding a subtle sweetness.
- Serve immediately to preserve the cream’s texture and the bun’s freshness, presenting a delightful dessert perfect for afternoon tea or a sweet indulgence.
Notes
- Whipping the cream requires a chilled bowl and beaters to achieve the perfect fluffy texture.
- Selecting high-quality jam enhances the overall flavor profile of these delicate baked treats.
- Vanilla bean paste offers a more intense and authentic vanilla flavor compared to standard extract.
- Room temperature buns ensure easier slicing and a more pleasant eating experience.
- Powdered sugar dusting adds a delightful visual appeal and subtle sweetness to the final presentation.
