  • Whipped Cream Has Been Around Since the 16Th Century
    Whipped Cream Has Been Around Since The 16th Century On January 5, add a little extra something special to desserts to celebrate National Whipped Cream Day. Add whipped cream! Not only does it add creaminess and bit of pizzaz, but it also makes the difference between the ho-hum or a celebration kind of beverage or dessert. This holiday falls on the birthday of Reddi-wip founder Aaron “Bunny” Lapin. Aaron who invented Reddi-wip in 1948, was born on January 5, 1914, and died on July 10, 1999. It was in 1946, when the aerosol can was first invented by Aaron Lapin, that sales and popularity of this dessert delight really took off. Whipped cream is also sometimes called Chantilly cream or creme Chantilly. Recipes from the 16th century included whipped cream that was sweetened and aromatised. The names milk snow and snow cream were used. The English name whipped cream found its beginning in 1673. The name snow cream continued to be used throughout the 17th century. Chilled cream whips better than warm cream, at times if not chilled properly the cream may not whip. Also, it renders a deeper taste. Cream must be below 50 degrees to whip, at 50 or above it churns into butter rather than whips. Whipped cream has been around since the 16th century. It was included in recipes that date back to 1549 in Italy and 1604 in France. Until the 19th century, recipes for whipped cream called for whipping the cream with a willow or rush branch in place of the modern whisk.

  • No Churn Ice Cream by Cleo Coyle
    Cleo’s No Churn Ice Cream Chocolate, Vanilla, Coffee "No churn" ice cream appeals to me. It's easy to make, economical, takes little room in my freezer, and does not require reading appliance instructions (huzzah). Unfortunately, there is a problem with the most common recipe for "no churn" ice cream, one I have worked to remedy. Why I Revised the Popular "No Churn" Ice Cream Recipe "No churn" ice cream replaces the churning of air into the cream with whipping the air into the cream before freezing. This does a good job of keeping the end product as soft and fluffy as churned ice cream. But there is a problem with the most common "no churn" recipe I've seen shared across the internet (i.e., cream + sweetened condensed milk). It produces an ice cream that's far too soft, melts too easily, and leaves a waxy aftertaste on the tongue from too much butterfat. In short, it produces a product like ice cream but not as good. So I began experimenting with that ubiquitous no churn recipe and have come up with an improved version (IMO, of course). Why is it better? A few reasons... (1) Adding evaporated milk to the mix before freezing creates a final product that has a much cleaner, more ice-cream-like texture, eliminating that waxy butterfat coating on the tongue. It also... (2) Allows very fine ice crystals to form, which make the final product colder in the mouth and gives it a more stable form in the dish or on your cone.

  • Nebraskan Runzas & Cassata Cake
    Excerpted from MIDWEST MADE: Big, Bold Baking from the Heartland by Shauna Sever. Copyright © 2019. Available from Running Press, an imprint of Hachette Book Group, Inc. Cleveland-Style Cassata Cake Serves 10 to 12 One of my favorite midwestern food memories is the birthday cake I requested for many years when visiting my father, known to me as “that strawberry and vanilla pudding cake”—a yellow sponge sheet in two layers, filled with fresh juicy berries and thick vanilla pastry cream, swathed in whipped cream frosting. As it turns out, that cake has a real name, and was actually just a more conveniently shaped version of the towering, round Cleveland-style cassata cake, a classic of the city’s Little Italy neighborhood. Cleveland cassata derives from the centuries-old cassata siciliana—essentially a cannoli in cake form, with a ricotta cheese filling, jewel-like candied fruit, and lavishly decorated. The LaPuma family, which emigrated from Sicily to Cleveland in the late 1800s, is credited with creating the first “Cleveland- style” cassata in the 1920s at their family bakery. Turns out the LaPuma kids didn’t like the ricotta filling of the original (isn’t that always the way?) and so came the remix, using locally available ingredients. LaPuma Bakery still cranks out the same “modern” cassatas today, as do many other Cleveland-area bakeries, such as Corbo’s and Presti’s, and other old-school bakeries throughout the Midwest. My version of a cassata is flavor-boosted with a nod to its roots: extra-virgin olive oil, a hit of lemon, and a subtle splash of balsamic vinegar to make the rubied berries even more vibrant.
