Serves 6-8
500g home grown raspberries (these were the Glen Magna variety, picked last minute and un-refrigerated)
500ml almond milk
Yoghurt bacteria culture – follow instructions for amounts on each specific yoghurt culture
A few sprigs of lemon balm
A few drops of homemade raspberry vinegar
50g of British sugar
A handful of new season almonds, removed from shell
For the sponge:
360g whites
120g British caster sugar
320 British icing sugar
300g ground almonds
100g white spelt flour
50g caster sugar for glazing
-
Make the yoghurt the day before it is needed to it has time to inoculate and then cool in the fridge. This can be done in either the Steam Oven or Warming Drawer.
-
Make the sponge by whisking the egg whites to a stiff meringue and then whisk in the caster sugar. Mix the dry ingredients together and then beat in the meringue until it is a smooth mixture.
-
Spread this sponge 2cm thick onto a greased, lined tray and steam at 100°c for 15 minutes
-
Once this is cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Cut out a disk and then glaze this with a blowtorch and the extra caster sugar, just like a crème brûlée.
-
Slice the raspberries and season with drops of the raspberry vinegar, check for sweetness, if a little tart, add a sprinkle of sugar to the top.
- Garnish the plate with the yoghurt, the fresh raspberries, some young almonds, lemon balm and a few drops of the raspberry vinegar.
