Ingredients
- 1 punnet raspberries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 10 egg yolks
- 100g castor sugar plus 1 tbsp
- 250ml 35 per cent cream
- 700ml 45 per cent (thickened) cream
- 2 vanilla beans, split and scraped
- 3 peaches
- 1 tsp rosewater
- 6 puff pastry circles, cut to 70-mm diameter and baked (use your own puff pastry recipe or buy a quality brand from a supermarket)
- 2 tbsp pistachios, blanched and roughly chopped to garnish
Method
For raspberry puree, wash raspberries and puree in a food processor with sugar and lemon juice. Force through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
For vanilla cream, whisk together yolks and 100 grams castor sugar in a stainless steel bowl. Mix creams and vanilla beans in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Pour cream onto yolks and whisk well. Return to a medium heat and stir continuously until mixture thickens. Do not allow to boil. Pour cream mix through a fine strainer and refrigerate overnight.
For peaches, preheat oven to 150C. Cut each peach in half and slice each half into 12 wedges. Lay wedges on a baking tray and sprinkle with 1 tablespooon castor sugar and rosewater. Bake for five minutes. Allow to cool.
Place baked puff pastry discs on six plates. Place a teaspoon of raspberry puree in the middle of each disc. Spoon 1.5 tablespoons of vanilla cream over the raspberry puree. Place the baked peach slices in a circle, imitating petals of a flower, over the vanilla cream. Spoon a little extra raspberry puree onto the plates and garnish with a few pistachios.
