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.
