Ingredients
Scale
- 700 g (24.7 oz) heavy cream
- 120 g (4.2 oz) powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 pinch salt
- raspberry jam (or jam of your choice), to finish
Instructions
- Cream Preparation: Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and salt using an electric mixer until soft, billowy peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Bun Preparation: Slice cream buns vertically through the center, creating a delicate pocket without completely separating the bun.
- Filling Technique: Transfer whipped cream to a piping bag with a star-shaped tip, then carefully pipe the airy mixture into the center of each bun, creating a luxurious interior.
- Jam Layering: Elegantly spoon or pipe fresh raspberry jam atop the cream, allowing the vibrant red to contrast beautifully with the white cream.
- Final Touch: Dust the filled cream buns with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar to enhance visual appeal and add subtle sweetness.
- Serving: Present immediately to maintain the cream’s delicate texture and the bun’s freshness, perfect for an elegant afternoon treat or dessert.
Notes
- Cream Whipping Technique: Whip cream at medium-high speed to achieve soft, billowy peaks without over-beating, which can cause grainy or butter-like texture.
- Bun Slicing Precision: Cut buns carefully and gently to maintain structural integrity, creating a delicate pocket without completely separating the halves.
- Piping Pro Tip: Use a star-shaped tip for elegant cream distribution, ensuring even filling and a professional bakery-style presentation.
- Serving Strategy: Consume cream buns immediately after filling to maintain optimal texture, preventing cream from becoming soggy and preserving the bun’s delicate crispness.
