the correct way to use it is as the title suggests. still, i think is a lot more elegant than whipped cream. ha ha... i am not sure what is the origin of this word, but i can make a connection with the french verb "chanter," which means "to sing." perhaps, just my personal idea, that when people put a spoonful of this delicious treat into their mouths, the creme chantilly is so delicious that they want to sing to praise the food. it's a wild guess, but i think eating delicate cuisine really makes on happy!!
Chantilly cream, or crème chantilly to use the French and impress your friends, is simply sweetened whipped cream flavored with vanilla or brandy. In this country, we take the sweetened part for granted when we refer to whipped cream, although, of course, unsweetened whipped cream is used to give volume and flavor to a number of savory recipes.
There are those who will tell you Chantilly cream is a lightly whipped cream (that is to say, not stiff and heading towards butter), but there are those who will disagree with this assertion. Chantilly cream is often piped into decorative shapes.
