Mascarpone Spuma
A spuma, or espuma, is a dense foam with small bubbles, similar to a whipped cream in consistency, but often more savory in flavor. Typically made with a whipped cream dispenser with an N20 cartridge, we’ve put together this alternative recipe that is easy to make with equipment you likely have in your kitchen! This recipe makes one cup, and leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to two days. Do not freeze.
Ingredients:
½ cup cold heavy cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ cup + 1 tablespoon mascarpone (at room temperature)
½ teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt
Equipment:
Immersion Blender or Hand Mixer
2 Mixing Bowls
Whisk
Instructions:
Pour the cream and sugar into a bowl and beat until very thick peaks form.
In a separate bowl, with the same beaters, add the mascarpone and vanilla and mix until creamy.
Fold the cream into the mascarpone gently, then whisk to combine.
Procedure:
Put the powder into a bowl
Pour the milk on the powder
Mix with a whisk and pour 500 gr on every siphon
Load up the siphon with 1 N2O cartridge
Shake and store in the fridge
When needed, shake upside down and pour over the beverage
Make it Spiked!
To make the coffeetail version of the Caffe Emiliano, swap the cherry syrup for Alchermes, an Italian red liqueur. Please drink responsibly.
*Beverage will be served at select locations while supplies last.
