Step-by-Step Instructions for Raspberry Pâte de Fruits
- Begin by blending fresh raspberries with caster sugar and pectin in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat while stirring gently until the mixture reaches 110ºC, about 10-15 minutes.
- Once thickened, pour into a lined 20cm square tray, spreading evenly. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour until fully set.
- Whisk together egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Heat heavy cream with a split vanilla bean until steaming, then whisk it slowly into the egg mixture.
- Pour the custard mixture into ramekins. Prepare a water bath with hot water and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 30-35 minutes.
- Cool in the water bath for about 15 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Sprinkle coarse sugar over the tops and caramelize with a blow torch.
- Mix unsweetened coconut flakes with chilled whipped cream until fluffy for the Coconut Snow topping.
- Serve by placing Coconut Snow atop each Raspberry Crème Brûlée and garnish with fresh berries.
