Protein cream over a water bath
Description
The recipe won't take much time. To prepare the cream, carefully separate the egg whites, making sure no trace of yolk gets into them. Before starting to work with the whites, it's best to chill them, as well as the bowl you'll use for beating. Also, take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance so it softens by the time you need it. Serve chilled.
