Elderflower, rhubarb and strawberry chantilly cream by Nina Métayer

Ingredients

  • 4 stalks of rhubarb
  • 2 punnets of strawberries
  • 500 g of liquid fresh cream with 35% fat

For the poaching syrup

  • 200 g of honey
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 20 g elderflowers (without stems)

Preparation

  1. Peel the rhubarb. Cut the stalks into 3 cm pieces. Wash the strawberries, hull them and cut them into pieces. Set aside.

  2. Prepare the poaching syrup: bring 50 cl of water, the honey and the split and scraped vanilla pod to a simmer. When the mixture is simmering, add a handful of elderflowers. Reserve 25 g of this syrup for the whipped cream.

  3. Poach the rhubarb pieces in the remaining syrup for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the ripeness of the rhubarb (more or less acidic).

  4. Whip the liquid cream into Chantilly cream, then gently fold in the filtered elderflower syrup using a spatula. Divide the poached rhubarb and strawberries among the serving bowls, cover with elderflower Chantilly cream and enjoy immediately.
