Warm Passion Fruit Gratin With Raspberries Recipes

FRESH RASPBERRY GRATINS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler for at least 15 minutes, with the rack about 5 inches away from the heat.
• To make the sabayon, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water until thick and creamy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk almost constantly, scraping the egg mixture from the bottom of the bowl. Slowly whisk in the Marsala wine and continue whisking over the simmering water for about 5 more minutes, until the mixture is thick and smooth, like a soft whipped cream. It should register about 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Whisk in the vanilla, remove from the heat, and set aside.
• Place one snug layer of raspberries in 6 (6 to 7-inch) shallow gratin dishes. (Each of my dishes holds about one half-pint of raspberries.) Spoon enough sabayon over the raspberries to cover them. Sprinkle each one lightly with granulated sugar. Arrange the dishes on 2 sheet pans and place themone pan at a timeunder the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the tops of the gratins are lightly browned. Watch them carefully; they burn really quickly! Serve warm.

APRICOT AND RASPBERRY GRANOLA GRATIN WITH RASPBERRY HONEY YOGURT

Steps:

• For the yogurt: In a small bowl, mix the yogurt and honey together. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the gratin: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart gratin dish with the softened butter.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Whisk in the flour, melted butter, brown sugar, cane sugar, vanilla and salt, until smooth. Pour the batter into the gratin dish and arrange the apricot slices and raspberries on top. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Take the gratin out of the oven, and sprinkle the top with the granola and almonds, and bake until the batter is light brown and set, and the fruit is tender, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
• Serve with a dollop of the raspberry honey yogurt.

WARM SABAYON WITH GLAZED PLUMS AND RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• 1. Stir the sugar and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the plums and cook until soft and coated with syrup, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the raspberries.
• 2. Meanwhile, make the sabayon: Put about 1 inch of water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• 3. In a heatproof bowl that can rest in the saucepan without touching the water, beat the egg yolks and sugar with a large whisk, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the wine and salt and beat until foamy. Set the bowl on the pan and continue whisking constantly, moving in a circular motion around the bowl, until the eggs can hold a thick ribbon, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and continue whisking to cool slightly. Serve the fruit warm in shallow bowls or small glasses with sabayon spooned on top.

WARM PASSION FRUIT GRATIN WITH RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• Butter the insides of eight 3 1/2-inch flan rings.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper; place rings on top and refrigerate.
• Whisk arrowroot gradually into yolks, beating until smooth.
• Soften gelatin in 2 tablespoons of the water.
• Combine passion-fruit juice and cream in saucepan and bring to boil; remove from heat. Stir a little of the juice mixture into the yolk mixture; then stir all the yolk mixture into the juice mixture. Bring to boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Add gelatin and simmer gently at least 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Mixture will be smooth and as thick as a light pastry cream. Set aside and cover with wax paper or plastic wrap to keep film from forming.
• Combine sugar and remaining 6 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Bring to boil; cover and cook 3 minutes. Remove lid and cook to 275 degrees on a candy thermometer.
• In a large bowl, beat egg whites to soft peaks. Slowly beat sugar syrup into whites and continue beating until mixture is barely warm and glossy.
• Fold warm cream mixture into meringue mixture. Half-fill each ring mold with this mixture, burying 8 to 10 raspberries inside; then completely cover berries with the remaining mixture. Reserve some berries for garnish if desired.
• Refrigerate at least 4 hours in advance, and as long as 24 hours.
• To prepare for serving, preheat broiler. Dust each ring with confectioners' sugar. Arrange rings on oven-proof tray. Glaze briefly under broiler. Watch carefully.
• Slip the molds onto serving plates and serve immediately.

• Beat egg whites until soft peaks form, add remaining sifted sugar and continue beating until firm peaks form.
• Gently fold quarter of the egg whites into passionfruit mixture, then fold in remaining egg whites.
• Lightly grease four individual souffle dishes, about 1-cup capacity, sprinkle inside each one with caster sugar; shake away excess.
• Spoon souffle mixture into dishes, bake at 220°C for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Dust tops with sifted icing sugar immediately.
