STRAWBERRY AND PISTACHIO FONTAINEBLEAU

As a Bellifontaine (my hometown is Fontainebleau), THE Fontainebleau cheese delicacy is obviously MY Proust’s madeleine. This cheese dessert made of faiselle (kind of cottage cheese) and whipped cream is definitely “la crème de la crème” in the French repertoire. This ethereal “cloud” always served in a delicate muslin appeared in the 18th century in….Fontainebleau. The first time I realized a whipped cream was to create my own Fontainebleau. This is my version. I added the rosemary because I saw it served like that. Do not hesitate to buy Plougastel strawberries if you can (they came from Brittany). And if by any chance you are lucky enough to go to my beautiful hometown, try the divine dessert there, it will be heaven in your mouth (and nothing else…). 

 


 

 

STRAWBERRY AND PISTACHIO FONTAINEBLEAU
Serves 4

400 g strawberries (cut in half)
300 g faiselle cheese
50 g icing sugar
20 cl double cream
Pistachios 


Drained the faiselle in a colander (or a muslin) for 1 hour in the fridge.
Dispose the bowl for the whipped cream in the freezer for 30 minutes and the double cream 10 minutes as well in the freezer. (It will help to have a firm and light whipped cream).
When ready, whip the double cream with the icing sugar until stiff and fold it delicately with the drained faiselle.
Garnish some verrines (or any cute glasses) with the faiselle foam and pieces of strawberries.
Drizzle with pistachios.
Enjoy…
