Charlotte Butter Cream
8 servings
120 minutes
A versatile butter cream, especially effective when combined with something crispy, will be good in meringue cakes like "Pavlova" or "Kiev", next to praline and chocolate chips. The history of the name "Charlotte" is completely unknown : either the British queen had a hand in it, or a cook in love with a peasant woman, but it clearly couldn't have happened without some Charlotte.
