Basak Krem Şanti Kakaolu is the cocoa version of Başak's instant whipped topping powder, a quick way to finish a cake, profiterole or milk dessert with a chocolate cream. The box describes it as a whipped topping with cocoa, and its nutrition panel is given for the product prepared with whole milk (3.5% fat), so milk is the liquid you whip it with. The 150 g box is divided into two 75 g portions (2 x 75 g), which means you can make a smaller batch today and keep the second portion for another occasion.
In the kitchen it is simple to use. Whip the powder with milk until it holds soft peaks, following the milk quantity, milk temperature and whipping time printed on the box, then pipe or spoon it over cupcakes and layer cakes, spread it between sponge layers, or swirl it over fresh strawberries as shown on the pack. It also works as a quick chocolate cream for profiteroles, éclairs, bananas or a trifle-style glass dessert. Chill the prepared topping for a short while before serving so that the swirls keep their shape. According to the label, 100 g of the prepared topping made with whole milk provides 190 kcal (806 kJ), including about 10.4 g of fat and 15 g of sugars.
Keep the box closed in a cool, dry place and use the second portion before the best-before date printed on the pack. As the finished cream is milk based, store it in the fridge and serve it soon after whipping. Please read the ingredient list and allergen information on the box before serving, especially for guests with allergies.
