Part 2........
In a 4 1/2-quart bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer, using the wire whip
attachment, beat the eggs and the salt at medium-high speed until frothy.
Add the sugar in a steady stream and beat just until blended. Remove the
bowl from the mixer stand and place over a pot of hot water. (The bottom of
the bowl must touch the water. ) Cook over medium-high heat, whisking
constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the granules of sugar have
dissolved and the egg mixture has reached 140 degrees F on an instant-read
thermometer. Return the bowl to the mixer stand and beat at medium-high
speed until the mixture is thick and pale yellow, about 8 minutes.
Place the cold water in a small, heatproof cup. Sprinkle the gelatin over
the water and let it stand for 5 minutes to soften the gelatin. Place the
cup with the softened gelatin in a saucepan with enough water to come
halfway up the side of the cup. Heat the gelatin mixture over hot, not
simmering, water. Stir the gelatin frequently for 3 to 4 minutes, or until
the gelatin granules dissolve completely and the mixture is clear. Remove
the pan from the heat. Whisk the dissolved gelatin mixtureinto the beaten
egg mixture. Using a large rubber spatula, fold the cooled white chocolate
into the mixture. Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the mixture to
lighten it. Fold in the remaining whipped cream.
Assemble the veloutes: Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain l/2-inch round
tip with some of the veloute mixture. Pipe a circle of filling into the
bottom of each mold, on top of the cake round. Pipe more veloute to fill in
the center of the circle so that the entire cake round is covered with a
level layer of filling, approximately one-third up the side of the mold. In
each mold, place 6 to 7 raspberries in a circle on top of the filling,
leaving a l/4-inch border of filling around the edge. Place 1 teaspoon of
raspberry jam in the center of each raspberry circle.
Pipe more veloute filling into each mold, to fill completely. Using a small
metal cake spatula, scrape the top of each mold to make the filling level
with the top of the mold. Cover the molds with plastic wrap and refrigerate
at least 2 hours or overnight, until set.
Make the warm chocolate curls: Warm the 8-ounce chunk of white chocolate by
placing it on a piece of waxed paper, then microwave on MEDIUM (50 percent)
power for 10 second intervals, until the chocolate starts to soften
slightly. The chocolate should soften slightly, not melt.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Grip the chocolate chunk with a
folded paper towel so that your hand does not melt the chocolate. Using a
sharp vegetable peeler, scrape one of the edges of the chocolate chunk in a
downward motion, forming loose shavings. As you form the curls, let them
fall onto the waxed paper. Continue making curls until you have enough to
garnish just the tops of the veloutes.
Make the crumb garnish: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking
sheet with aluminum foil. Break the reserved sponge cake into small pieces
and spread in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake 5to 7 minutes, until
the cake is dry and lightly toasted. Allow the cake pieces to cool. Place
the cake "toast" in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade
and process 30 to 45 seconds, or until fine crumbs are formed. Transfer the
crumbs to a medium bowl.
Make the raspberry sauce: In a medium non-corrosive saucepan, combine the
raspberries and sugar. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with
a wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves completely and the berries
soften. Remove the pan from the heat. Strain the raspberry mixture through
a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and
refrigerate the sauce.
Unmold and garnish the veloutes: Remove the molds from the refrigerator and
gently peel the tape off the seams. Carefully remove the molds from the
veloutes . Gently pat the cake crumbs around the sides of each veloute,
covering them evenly from the top edge to the bottom. Top the veloutes with
the white chocolate curls. webmaster@godiva. c m
