What is Chantilly Cream?!
Answers: I thought it was a strongly flavoured "mock cream" my mum used to fill cakes and meringues, but according to the BBC web site: "Sweetened, vanilla-flavoured, whipped cream used for desserts and puddings. It's sometimes flavoured with liqueur. Chantilly is a medieval French market town just north of Paris, famous for its whipped cream, and there's no shortage of patisseries serving pastries piped full of Chantilly cream!" I should have known, because any pudding on a menu in a posh restaurant called "chantilly", only really ever means "with a squirt of whipped cream"!

Cream whipped with sugar and vanilla.
Whipped cream, containing vanilla and sugar
I am a former chef and it is whipped cream sweetened with powdered or icing sugar, vanilla extract or beans, it is done with the icing or powdered sugar as it has some cornstarch in it and helps stablize the cream.
No mystery. It's whipped double cream with added sugar, preferably icing sugar or caster sugar - not granulated, as this would remain gritty.
OK, you can add vanilla to it! I'm not a Chef!
