Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 200g preserved sweet peppers, such as Pimientos del Piquillo de Lodosa, drained
- Garlic to taste, crushed
- 500g full fat cream cheese
- A couple of dashes of lemon juice
- 100ml double cream

Method
- Blend the peppers, garlic, cream cheese, lemon juice and cream using a stick (immersion blender) or liquidiser until you have a very smooth mixture
- Mix in the cream by hand
- Strain through a fine sieve and season to taste
- With the aid of a funnel, spoon the mixture into a whipping syphon
- Choose a suitable nozzle and attach to the lid of the syphon
- Screw on the lid - do not over-tighten
- Place an N2O cartridge into the holder and attach to the lid

- Shake thoroughly between chargings
- Allow to chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours
- With the lever, squirt out the mixture into a large bowl or several individual ones
- Garnish with the paprika or chives
Serving suggestions
Serve with vegetable sticks, potato or vegetable crisps and savoury biscuits
Variations
Use any colour peppers you like. You can also include chillies for a bit of kick.
If you cannot get preserved peppers, fresh ones are fine, but you will need to skin and sauté them first in a little olive oil
Chef's notes
Remember to halve the ingredients if using a 500 ml whipper and to quarter them if using a 250 ml one
Do not use reduced fat cheese or cream as it won't whip properly
