Chiles en Nogada (Stuffed Poblano Chiles in Walnut Sauce)

The poblanos are stuffed with picadillo—a spiced, sweet-salty ground meat mixture found in one form or another throughout Latin America. The “manufacturing cream” called for is a heavy cream with an extra-high fat content (over 40%). It’s generally only available to the restaurant trade, so just use a heavy cream with the highest fat content you can find (and don’t use “whipping cream,” which has a relatively low fat content). This recipe is from Sarah Rocío Gomez, Executive Chef at Amaranta Cocina Mexicana in Los Angeles.
