Screme

Screme is a semi-solid sweet spread made from real chocolate and heavy cream, similar to a ganache. It is often used as a topping for cakes, ice cream, and other desserts. Screme can be flavored with various extracts, such as vanilla or mint, to give it a unique taste.

Screme is formed by heating a mixture of chocolate and cream together until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. The mixture is then cooled and whipped until it becomes thick and creamy. This process gives screme its characteristic texture, which is thinner and more pourable than regular chocolate ganache.

Screme is often used in professional cake decorating and can be colored and flavored to match a variety of themes and occasions. It is also used to add a rich, chocolate flavor to desserts such as cheesecakes and creme brûlée.

One of the benefits of using screme as a topping is that it sets at room temperature, making it a good choice for events where the dessert may be sitting at room temperature for an extended period. Additionally, screme is less messy than ganache, making it easier to spread and dollop.

Screme is available in most baking supply stores and online, and can also be made at home with a few simple ingredients. It is a versatile and delicious addition to any dessert, and can be flavored and colored to match a variety of tastes and themes.
