Sweetened raspberry puree

Thanks to our fruit sourcing expertise, we carefully select Willamette and Meeker raspberries, renowned for their aromatic intensity and flavour quality. Part of the fruit, sourced from Central and Eastern Europe, is processed fresh at our primary processing facility in Poland to preserve its full aromatic expression. This blend delivers a puree with an intense red colour, a powerful ripe raspberry flavour and remarkable aromatic finesse. Highly versatile, it is ideal for pastry, ice cream and sorbet applications, as well as coulis and sauces, bringing the authentic character of raspberry to every creation.

Preparation steps

In a saucepan, bring the butter, water, milk, sugar and salt to a boil. Remove from heat and add the sifted flour. Mix briskly with a whisk. Dry on the heat. Place in a mixer bowl with half the eggs. Mix, using the paddle attachment, at medium speed. Add the remaining eggs, and balance texture with milk. Pipe on a tray with a silpain. Freeze. Spray the cocoa butter and icing sugar melt together. Bake in a deck oven at 160°C for 45 minutes.

2. Vanilla light pastry cream

Infuse the milk with the split vanilla and elder flowers during 20 minutes. Blanch the egg yolks, whole eggs, caster sugar and cornstarch together. Cook the pastry cream (strain the milk to remove the wood parts of vanilla). After baking the cream, add the butter and the gelatin mass. Blend. Cool quickly. Smooth out. Fold in the whipped cream with mascarpone.

3. Raspberry compote

Melt the raspberry puree at 45°C. Add the powders and cook for 5 minutes at 85°C. Add lemon puree. Blend and remove to a cooling tray. Smooth out when the confit is cold.

5. Chocolate Decorations

Tempere the chocolate to 29°C and do the chocolate decorations. Cut flowers and make it flat between to trays.

6. Assembly

Fill the choux with the raspberry confit and light vanilla pastry cream. Turn the chou over and place the white chocolate decoration. Place small balls of raspberry compote on each chou.
