VANILLA FLAN WITH RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• In a saucepan over low heat combine 2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup water, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until sugar caramelizes, swirling pan occasionally. Immediately pour into 2 (9-inch) pie dishes. Turn dishes, so bottom and sides are coated. Set aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together eggs, egg yolks and vanilla.
• Stir in whipping cream, milk and 1 1/2 cups sugar.
• Divide mixture among pie dishes.
• Place pie pans in a heavy baking pan, adding enough hot water to come up halfway up sides of pie dishes.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes clean. Remove custards from water and cool. Refrigerate overnight (*can be prepared up to 2 days ahead.).
• Invert custards on platters; sprinkle with raspberries to serve.

HEAVENLY DESSERT - VANILLA BAVARIAN CREAM WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• FOR BAVARIAN CREAM:.
• Whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Do not allow it to form stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Soak the gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water for 10 minutes.
• Place a fine mesh strainer inside a medium-sized bowl. Fill a larger bowl with ice water. Set each aside.
• Pour the milk into a medium saucepan. If using vanilla bean, slit it open and scrape the seeds into the milk adding the entire pod into the milk as well. If using vanilla extract add after the cream is cooked.
• Bring the milk to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow the flavor of the bean to infuse into the milk for approximately 30 minutes.
• Remove the bean from the milk and reheat the milk mixture. Set aside.
• Whisk the eggs and sugar together until thickened and a pale yellow color. Do not use an electric beater for this process, only a whisk. The sugar must dissolve slowly into a creamy (not frothy) mixture, otherwise there will be too much air in the custard.
• Add a 1/4 cup of the hot milk to the egg mixture, stirring constantly to temper the yolks and then add the tempered yolks to the milk in the saucepan. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened.
• Pour the custard through the mesh strainer into the medium sized bowl. Remove strainer; add the softened gelatin and whisk until the gelatin is dissolved. (If using vanilla extract, add it now.).
• Place the bowl inside the larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir the mixture until it begins to cool and just begins to thicken. When the basic cream is cool and beginning to thicken, lift its bowl out immediately.
• CRITICAL POINT. Fold in the whipped cream. The basic cream must not be too warm and runny, or the whipped cream will liquefy in it too. Should it be too cold, the whipped cream (which is also cold) will cause it to set right away and the resulting mixture will not be homogeneous.
• An ideal consistency is achieved when the cream flows heavily off the spoon.
• Use as desired or pour into large mold, smaller molds or serving bowl, chill until firm and unmold by placing in hot water for 15 seconds.
• Serve with chilled raspberry sauce.
• RASPBERRY SAUCE:.
• Puree and sieve 1 pint of raspberries.
• Bring to a boil 1/2 cup sugar and 1/3 cup red wine with a small piece of lemon rind.
• Add raspberry puree and reduce for about 3-4 minutes.
• Serve chilled.

BANANA FLAN WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, beat the whole eggs, egg yolk and sugar together with a wire whisk. Add the lemon juice, heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk and combine well.
• Put the bananas and milk into the container of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or into a blender, and puree. Add this to the egg-and-sugar mixture in the bowl. Then add the rum, banana liqueur (if used) and the vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
• Lightly grease each of four 10-ounce custard cups. Pour the flan mixture in equal amounts into the cups.
• Put the cups into a baking pan with three-inch sides. Pour warm water into the pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the cups.
• Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the custard is set. (The custard is done when the thin blade of a knife comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the flan.)
• Meanwhile, prepare the raspberry puree. In a food processor or blender, puree the thawed raspberries with their syrup. Strain through a fine sieve and mix in the sugar and wine. Set aside.
• When the flans are cooked, remove them from the water and let rest for five minutes.
• To serve the flan warm, invert each custard cup onto a dessert plate and shake once to release. Spoon equal amounts of the raspberry sauce around each flan. Garnish the top of each with three raspberries and a mint leaf. To serve the flans cold, let them cool for 30 minutes, cover and refrigerate for several hours. Cover the raspberry sauce and chill as well. At serving time, assemble the dish as described above.

RICK STEIN'S FRENCH RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• For the pastry, mix the butter and sugar in a bowl, then add the egg yolks to make a smooth paste. Add the flour and mix to bring the dough together in a ball. Wrap it in cling film and chill for up to 20-30 minutes until firm enough to roll. For the crème patissière, bring the milk to the boil with the vanilla pod and seeds, then remove the pan from the heat. Mix the egg yolks, sugar and both flours in a bowl to form a paste. Gradually add the warm milk to the egg and flour paste, removing the vanilla pod, and stir well until you have a smooth custard. Rinse out the milk pan and pour in the custard mixture. Bring it to the boil over a medium heat and stir continuously, until the custard is really thick. Remove the pan from the heat. Cover the surface of the crème patissière with cling film or greaseproof paper, then set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 190°C/Fan 170°C. Roll out the pastry and use it to line a loose-bottomed 25cm tart tin or 8 individual 10cm loose-bottomed tart tins. Line the pastry with greaseproof paper and add baking beans, then bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and put the pastry back in the oven for another 4-5 minutes to finish cooking. Set aside to cool. Carefully remove the pastry from the tin or tins and fill with the chilled crème patissière. Smooth the top with a damp palette knife. Arrange the raspberries on top in concentric circles. Warm the redcurrant jelly in a pan with a tablespoon of water. Using a pastry brush, generously paint the raspberries with the warm jelly, then leave to set. Serve with whipped cream.

VANILLA CUSTARD WITH RASPBERRY MASH

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and vanilla bean to a boil over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside to infuse for 10 minutes. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cornstarch and whisk vigorously until no lumps remain. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture until incorporated. Whisk in the remaining hot milk mixture, reserving the empty saucepan.
• Pour the mixture through a strainer back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and slowly boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Pour into individual dessert dishes and chill. Chill at least 2 hours or until ready to serve. (The custard can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Cover with plastic wrap if you are keeping it longer than that.)
• Raspberry Mash: Place 1/4 of a pint of raspberries in a bowl with the sugar and mash it with the back of a fork. Toss in the remaining 1/4-pint of raspberries and gently toss to coat.
• Whip the cream with the sugar and serve on the custard and mash.
