Step-by-step Guide

Fruit Gelatin

  • Hydrate the gelatin sheets by submerging them in cold water for at least 5 minutes before use.
  • Blend the clean and peeled fruit with a hand blender until a homogeneous texture is achieved.
  • Pass the obtained pulp through a fine-mesh sieve to achieve a finer texture and eliminate any lumps.
  • Transfer the strained pulp to a saucepan and add about 50 grams of sugar, adjusting to taste according to the sweetness of the fruit used.
  • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously. When the preparation is hot (around 60-70 °C, without reaching a boil), add the drained gelatin sheets.
  • Stir well to ensure the gelatin is perfectly integrated and remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • Pour the gelatin and fruit mixture over the cake, distributing it evenly. Refrigerate the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until the gelatin is completely set.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • When you puree the red fruit pulp, ensure it is completely smooth to avoid lumps in the topping. If necessary, pass it through a fine sieve after pureeing.
  • To intensify the flavor and aroma of whole red fruits, lightly caramelize a portion over the heat with a bit of sugar before adding them to the topping.
  • Store the fruit topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If not using immediately, cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent crust from forming.
