Raspberry Spuma Food

RASPBERRY SPUMA

Steps:

• Put raspberries in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat. Mash berries with a wooden spoon and simmer for 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-meshed wire sieve, pushing against berries to extract all juices. Discard seeds and solids. You should have 1 cup raspberry syrup. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a mixing bowl, combine egg whites with 1/4 cup sugar. Set bowl over a pan of boiling water and, using a wire whisk, beat egg whites and sugar just enough to dissolve sugar and until whites are warm to the touch, about 1 minute.
• Remove bowl from heat. Beat egg whites vigorously until you have a fluffy meringue with shiny stiff peaks, about 3 minutes. (You may use electric beaters or stand mixer.)
• Using a rubber spatula, quickly fold raspberry syrup into meringue. Transfer to a serving dish, cover and freeze for at least 2 hours. (You may freeze mixture up to 3 days in advance.)
• To serve, garnish with berries and spoon raspberry spuma into small bowls.

RASPBERRY SOUP

Steps:

• Puree raspberries through a sieve or a food mill.
• Blend sugar and sour cream together and stir into raspberry puree. Stir in wine and water.
• Chill thoroughly before serving.

RASPBERRY-RICOTTA MOUSSE

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend the ricotta cheese until light and fluffy, about 20 seconds. Add the jam and pulse until combined. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream until thick. Add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until the cream holds stiff peaks. Working in batches, carefully fold the cream mixture into the ricotta mixture. Spoon the mousse into serving bowls and refrigerate for 1 hour. Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve.

RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the jam and juice together in a small heavy saucepan until melted and combined. Strain the sauce, discarding any seeds if desired, then serve with migliaccio.

CHILLED RASPBERRY ESPUMA

• Select appropriate dispensing tip for recipe and screw onto head. Check that appropriate gasket is positioned inside the head. Pre-chill bottle and head. In a saucepan over low heat, cook the raspberries with the sugar. When the raspberries have broken down into a puree, pass them through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds. In a mixing bowl, combine raspberry puree, lemon juice and egg whites. Mix until smooth. Pour mixture into a chilled iSi Thermo Whip. Screw head onto the bottle. Charge with one iSi cream charger and shake bottle vigorously 4-6 times. Remove charger holder, discard used charger, and screw on decorator cap. Turn bottle upside-down with dispensing tip in the vertical position. Press lever to dispense.
