A smooth whipped cream infused with orange blossom extract, honey and fresh orange zest. This is the perfect filling for your favourite bake, piled on top of a cake or makes the perfect pastry filling.
This is a super simple 4 ingredient recipe that takes less than 5 minutes to make. Start by placing the cream into a bowl and adding the orange blossom extract and honey. Using an electric mixer, whisk everything together until the cream starts to thicken. I always struggle with getting it in that perfect spot, just before it’s over whipped. Whip it too much and too much air escapes causing it to become grainy and flat, not mixing it enough with leave it too runny. You want it to be thick and able to hold its own shape. I’m always a little over cautious and go super slow. I normally whisk on the lowest setting, checking it regularly to get the perfect spot. Once everything is mixed, lightly stir through the fresh orange zest with a spoon.
Now you’re ready to add to your recipe. Add to a cake, use a dip with fresh fruit, or my favourite way to enjoy this is to follow my pastry heart recipe. I love topping this with a little bit extra orange zest (and if possible, a nice fresh berry) as a final finishing touch before serving.
If you have any cream left over, this can also be stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
