English Cream With Dark Rum Recipes

Steps:

• Whip the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When it starts to thicken, add the sugar, vanilla, and rum. Continue to whip until it forms stiff peaks. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Place the yolks in a saucepan and add the sugar. Beat with a wire whisk until thick and lemon colored.
• Heat the milk and the vanilla in a saucepan. Do not boil.
• Gradually add the milk to the yolks. Cook over medium heat with a wooden spatula, swirling and scraping constantly to keep the mixture moving. Draw your index finger along the back of the spatula. If the mixture parts cleanly and stays parted, the correct consistency has been reached. This occurs at about 185 degrees.
• Pour the mixture through a fine-meshed strainer into a small bowl. Cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally to maintain smoothness.
• Add the rum, if desired, and refrigerate.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form.
• Whisk mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth.
• In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and drizzle with coffee mixture.
• Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a 7x11 inch dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat layers and sprinkle with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.
