Caliph’s berry crémet, a creamy luxury pause

Let’s say the crémet d’Anjou that you’ve seen before has moved into an Oriental palace…
This fresh cream is flavored like Ottoman sweets with honey, orange blossom water, cinnamon, a hint of mace.

Garnished with berries.

The strawb’ soup is pimped with créme de framboise (raspberry liquor).

Decorated with gold powder if you have. Cinnamon is cheaper and tastier otherwise.

Crémet à la menthe

Crémet in peppermint coulis.
Les crémets d’Anjou are a minimalist French dairy dessert from Angers, an “English” Medieval castle city in the Ouest of France. Well, it’s more that England started as a suburb of Angers.
Normally the crémets are served with a fruit coulis, but they also love la menthe anglaise (there is a pun lost in translation).

Draining fromage blanc (French unsalted cottage cheese), or by default yogurt… These are honey flavored, very slightly sweetened.

In shapes, refreshed a few hours.

The sauce is made of mint, a little lettuce for more green, milled sesame for volume, a little honey. That’s deliciously refreshing.
