Looked like whipped cream - tasted wonderful - perhaps slightly sweetened but not much. Does anyone know how to make this please?  Can one whip fromage blanc like cream?  We have never bought fromage blanc as we thought you just ate it as it was and did not fancy it. Thanks Mrs H    Report

There are two sorts  'en faiselle' a bit like curds and whey, and 'battu' which is homogenous. I get mine from a local farmer on the market, rather then in the supermarket.    Report

It was not "yellow" so probably not the mixed with egg yolk version.  Sounds nice though - will try it out. Mrs H    Report

It seems a bit complicated to me, but there again, cuisine moleculaire is not my forte, and I have zilch spatial abilities - this seems simple enough though http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6hdwr_comment-utiliser-un-siphon_lifestyle    Report
