Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
2 teaspoons arrowroot
6 egg yolks
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
8 tablespoons cold water
5 ounces passion-fruit juice
4 tablespoons heavy cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 egg whites
1 pint fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting

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.
