Classic parmesan chips are made simply from grated parmesan and a few spices. With this recipe, though, you take your apéro snack to the next level: these parmesan chips are made from a spreadable batter that you can spread into lovely shapes thanks to our Silicone stencils.
Don't worry – the parmesan content stays high all the same, the chips turn out beautifully crispy and taste delicately of parmesan. So grab a Stencil and be sure to give this recipe a try.



Ingredients

PARMESAN CHIP BATTER
25 gWhole milk
6 gCornflour
1 gAromat seasoning

Step by step
If you're in a hurry: the compact recipe card further down sums everything up.
Parmesan batter
1
Preheat the oven and mix the milk mixture
Preheat the oven to 150 °C fan. Put the whole milk, cornflour, Aromat seasoning and parmesan (part 1) into a Bowl and briefly mix everything with the Whisk.

2
Whip the cream to 80 to 90 per cent and fold it in
Whip the full cream in a separate Bowl to about 80 to 90 per cent – it should still be soft and not completely stiff. Then add the whipped cream to the milk mixture and briefly fold it in with a Rubber scraper.



3
Fold in the flour and parmesan
In a small Bowl, mix the White flour with the parmesan (part 2) and add both to the cream mixture. Also briefly fold in the flour with the Rubber scraper until you have a smooth mixture.

Spreading and sprinkling
1
Spread the batter through the Stencil
Place the Silicone stencil on a sheet of baking paper and put some parmesan batter on it. Spread the batter evenly with an Angled spatula, then carefully lift off the Stencil and spread the next shapes.


What you need for this
2
Sprinkle generously with parmesan – and shake off the excess
Sprinkle the parmesan (part 3) generously over the spread-out chips. Then hold the baking paper firmly with both hands and shake the excess parmesan onto a second sheet of baking paper. In the end all the chips should be evenly covered – but there should be no cheese left on the baking paper itself.


Baking
1
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes – a little darker is fine
Using a Cake tin, transfer the baking paper with the chips onto a Baking tray and bake them for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven at 150 °C fan. The chips are welcome to get a little darker – that's when they turn out nice and crispy. Just make sure they don't burn.

Storage & shelf life
It's best to store the chips airtight in a Cookie tin – then they'll keep for about 2 weeks. Airtight is really key: parmesan chips attract moisture and otherwise turn chewy within two days.
If they do go soft, pop them back into the oven for 3 to 4 minutes at 150 °C. Once cooled they're crispy again.

Not required for the recipe — but it fits.

So they're guaranteed to turn out
Only half-whip the cream
80 to 90 per cent means: the cream just holds its shape but is still soft and glossy. If you whip it fully stiff, the mixture turns grainy when folded in and can no longer be spread cleanly through the Stencil – it tears instead of flowing.
Spread thin for crispy chips
The Stencil sets the thickness – so make use of it: pull the Angled spatula flat across the shape in one go rather than piling up batter. A chip that's too thick stays soft in the middle even when the edges are already dark.
Really shake off the loose cheese
Anything left on the baking paper beside the chips will burn in the oven and make bitter edges. So hold the paper firmly with both hands and tap the loose parmesan thoroughly onto a second sheet – where you can reuse it right away for the next tray.
FAQ
Ideally a parmesan you grate finely yourself – pre-grated cheese from the bag is often treated with starch to stop it clumping, and turns out less crispy in the oven. It's also important that it's dry and well matured: young cheese contains too much water.
Yes, as long as it's hard and well matured. Grana Padano, Sbrinz or an aged mountain cheese work just as well. Soft cheeses like mozzarella or raclette cheese are not suitable – they contain too much water and the chips turn rubbery instead of crispy.
For the lovely shapes yes, for the flavour no. Without a Stencil you simply drop small mounds of batter onto the baking paper and spread them thin with the back of a spoon – they'll turn out round and a bit irregular. The Stencil is the reason these chips stand out on the apéro platter.
