Claudia Cherici Oct 21, 2013:
new fad there are not so many google hits because it's one of those new, 'fashionable' words that so often crop up in the culinary terminology. Proof is that people are posting questions in specialised forums to ask what a cremoso is, and where they can find recipes. A few years back it would probably have been called something easier, like a bavarois cream or some form of custard
Trapacciuolo (asker) Oct 21, 2013:
E' una "pasta" italiana (pasticceria mignon) che ha a quanto pare una consistenza cremosa (mousse).
philgoddard Oct 21, 2013:
Asker You said it was a pastry - have you revised that opinion?
Trapacciuolo (asker) Oct 21, 2013:
It's just an example. I'm translating only descriptions, not recipes.
P.L.F. Persio Oct 21, 2013:
Non è facile scrivere bene le ricette: sembra una crema inglese, però il latte va portato a bollore e poi tolto subito dal fuoco, altrimenti, una volta mescolato alle uova, queste diventano strapazzate e si deve buttare via tutto.
Comunque, adesso è più chiaro. Il secondo suggerimento di Fiona potrebbe essere l'ideale.
P.L.F. Persio Oct 21, 2013:
@Fiona: hai ragione, dovremmo sapere come si prepara, altrimenti restare sul generico è una buona soluzione.
Trapacciuolo (asker) Oct 21, 2013:
Esempio di ricetta:
100gr di tuorli
45gr di zucchero
240gr di latte di riso (io latte)
4,5gr di colla di pesce
120gr di cioccolato fondente al 70%

mettere la colla di pesce a bagno in acqua fresca,
bollire il latte, unirvi i tuorli sbiancati con lo zucchero e riportare sul fuoco fino a 85°,
togliere dal fuoco e aggiungere la colla di pesce strizzata, unire il cioccolato spezzettato e mescolare con un mixer a immersione,
colare la crema in uno stampo più stretto di 1cm dello stampo per il montaggio della torta che è da 20cm,
mettere il cremoso in freezer


P.L.F. Persio Oct 21, 2013:
Secondo il link sottostante: la mousse contiene molta aria, mentre il cremoso no, è di consistenza più compatta. Leggendo le varie ricette, che includono latte o panna e gelatina in fogli, sembra molto simile alla crema per bavarese, cioè una crema inglese (custard) addensata con gelatina; simile, ma non la stessa cosa, perciò è difficile da tradurre.
Claudia Cherici Oct 21, 2013:
non è un aggettivo qui cremoso non è un aggettivo, è un sostantivo. è un dolce, simile a una mousse densa. vedi qui ad es. http://nonsiamochef.blogspot.it/2008/10/bicchierini-di-panna...

Cremoso with Illy espresso infusion

I found that it should be left in Italian (cremoso). Plenty of trustworthy references: see

agree writeaway : but 100% CL is a bit OTT. this isn't the 'only' correct answer

guess you're right... I was on a high after finding it at last! thanks
agree philgoddard : Actually it gets hardly any Google hits - I think this may be one person's creation rather than a well-known dish. And it might need a couple of words of explanation, such as "creamy pudding".//Yes, but there are only two or three hits.

thank you Phil.did you check my references? they are good references, no 'one person's creations'. fact is, it's a relatively new word, and quite a 'fashion', so 'historic' culinary references are not easy to find

cream flavoured with Illy expresso (coffee)

My suggestion. Don't think the word coffee is necessary because both Illy and expresso are well-known.

Creamy with hints of (an) Illy espresso Coffee

I would say "hints of..." rather than "infusion of..." in an English text.

I like "...AN illy espresso coffee.", but this "AN" would be optional.

Or:

"A cream with hints of an Illy espresso coffee".
Example sentence:

"Mexican Chocolate – Triple chocolate cake with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg...Kalua Mocha - The darkest liqueur cake we make, with subtle HINTS OF COFFEE and vanilla"

"You will never guess that this cake is gluten-free. The cake is sinfully good. It's packed full of chocolate and HINTS OF ESPRESSO COFFEE. Serve with raspberry sauce for a truly decadent dessert."

Thanks but cremoso is a noun, I just wondered if there was a special translation for it rather than "cream"
