Cream of Vanilla and Licor 43 with Thermomix

Ingredients

• 400 g of heavy cream (well chilled)
• 700 g of milk
• 80 g of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or paste
• 25 g of locust bean gum (can be found in organic stores)
• 50 g of Licor 43
• 100 g of dark chocolate shavings

Preparation

1. Whip the cream:

   • Place the cold cream in the Thermomix glass and whip at speed 3.5 until firm. It is important not to overmix to prevent it from turning into butter.
   • Remove the whipped cream from the glass and set it aside in the refrigerator.

2. Prepare the vanilla cream base:

   • Without the need to wash the glass, add the milk, sugar, vanilla extract or paste, and locust bean gum.
   • Program 3 minutes at speed 4 to mix and thicken the mixture.

3. Incorporate the liquor and chocolate shavings:

   • Add the Licor 43 and the dark chocolate shavings to the glass with the cream base.
   • Mix everything for 10-15 seconds at speed 3.

4. Incorporate the whipped cream:

   • Add the whipped cream to the glass and, using a spatula, mix with folding movements until everything is well integrated and you have a fluffy and homogeneous texture.

5. Serve and refrigerate:

   • Pour the cream into individual cups or a large bowl.
   • Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving to cool and set.
