Instructions

Step 1

Soak the Gelatin

Start by soaking the gelatin in a mixture of the raspberry puree and cold water. Allow it to sit so that it can fully hydrate.

Step 2

Prepare the Sugar Syrup

In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Stir constantly while bringing it to a boil.

Once it reaches a temperature of 107 degrees Celsius (or until a thin thread forms when a drop is tested between two fingers), remove it from the heat. If you don't have a thermometer, check for this thread consistency to confirm readiness.

Step 3

Whip the Egg Whites

While the syrup is cooking, begin whipping the egg whites in a clean bowl. Start at a low speed and gradually increase to medium speed until they reach stiff peaks.

Step 4

Combine Syrup with Egg Whites

Once the syrup is ready, **carefully** pour it in a thin stream against the side of the mixing bowl, incorporating it into the whipped whites while the mixer is running at medium speed.

Step 5

Incorporate Gelatin

After the syrup has been added, gently pour in the melted gelatin into the meringue mixture.

Step 6

Whip Until Fluffy

Continue to whip the mixture until it becomes a light and fluffy texture, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 7

Mix Chocolate and Butter

In a separate bowl, blend the butter and melted white chocolate together thoroughly.

Step 8

Combine Mixtures

Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the fluffy meringue using a spatula or by hand.

If the mixture has cooled and started to thicken, you can gently reheat it in a microwave for a few seconds.

Step 9

Fill the Molds

Prepare your molds by lightly greasing them with vegetable oil. Fill the molds with the mousse mixture as shown in the video tutorial.

Step 10

Chill and Stabilize

Place the filled molds in the refrigerator and allow them to stabilize for 2 to 3 hours.

Step 11

Unmold the Desserts

Once set, carefully remove the mousse flowers from the molds. Enjoy your delightful raspberry mousse flowers!

Step 12

Add Finishing Touches

If desired, you can add extra colors to your mousse flowers using a mixture of cornstarch and food coloring.

Faq

  • What’s the best way to whip egg whites?

    Make sure to use a clean bowl and beaters to avoid any fats that can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high for maximum volume.

  • Can I use other purees instead of raspberry?

    Absolutely! You can experiment with other fruit purees like mango, strawberry, or even passion fruit for a delightful twist!

  • What if my soufflé doesn't hold its shape?

    This can happen if the egg whites were not whipped properly or if the sugar syrup wasn't at the correct temperature. Always check your mixing technique!

  • How can I make sure my soufflé is perfectly set?

    Chilling it for at least 2-3 hours is key. If it still seems soft, you can freeze it for a short time just before serving. It should firm up nicely!

  • Can I scale this recipe for a larger crowd?

    Yes, simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need. Just be cautious with the mixing time as it may increase based on the batch size!

  • How do I achieve the best flavor?

    Using fresh, ripe raspberries will give you the most vibrant flavor. You can also enhance it by adding a splash of lemon juice for a zesty kick!
