Various Side Dish Ideas for Plain Faisselles (Serves 4)<br />

4 small (0.25 L each) faisselles made of fresh whole cow's milk<br />

Prepare your faisselles 48 hours in advance (approx. 10 hours in<br />

cheese maker and 1 day for drainage).<br />

• Chocolate Faisselles<br />

300 g dark chocolate, 0.25 L milk, 50 g sugar, chocolate chips or<br />

coconut for decoration<br />

Bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan. Add the dark chocolate cut<br />

into small pieces and the sugar. Mix well.<br />

Turn the faisselles out onto small dessert plates and top with the<br />

chocolate sauce.<br />

Garnish with a few chocolate chips or some coconut.<br />

• Faisselles ardéchoises<br />

1 - 500 g can chestnut purée, 40 cl whipping cream, a few broken-up<br />

iced chestnuts for decoration<br />

Whip the cream until it holds peaks (note that the cream must be<br />

cold to start).<br />

Add it to the chestnut purée.<br />

Turn the faisselles out onto small dessert plates and top with the<br />

chestnut and cream mixture.<br />

Garnish with a few of the iced chestnut pieces.<br />

• Faisselles with Whipped Cream and Fresh Berries<br />

100 g strawberries, 100 g raspberries, 100 g blueberries or other<br />

berries<br />

1 tbsp vanilla sugar, 25 cl whipping cream, 6 mint leaves for<br />

decoration<br />

Whip the cream until it holds peaks and incorporate the vanilla<br />

sugar.<br />

Turn the faisselles out into good-sized dessert cups. Cover with<br />

the whipped cream and add berries all round.<br />

Garnish each cup with a mint leaf.<br />

• Faisselles with Gingerbread and Pear Compote<br />

5 nice, firm pears, 4 slices gingerbread, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 20 cl<br />

dry white wine, 1 pat butter.<br />

Peel the pears and cut them into good-sized pieces. Put the pat<br />

of butter in a deep saucepan and brown the pears.<br />

Next, add the brown sugar and caramelise the pears.<br />

Then add the white wine and crumble 3 of the gingerbread slices<br />

into the mixture.<br />

Cover and cook for about 30 minutes while stirring regularly to<br />

prevent the pears from sticking.<br />

The result should be nicely caramelised pears in a thick syrup.<br />

Turn the faisselles out onto dessert plates and arrange the warm<br />

pears around them. Drizzle the syrup over the plates and crumble<br />

the remaining slice of gingerbread over the top.
