Yields: 4 servings
Preparation Time: 40 minutes plus setting time | Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 400g of fresh or frozen berries
- 60g of caster sugar (¼ cup)
- 2 Tbsp of milk
- 2 tsp of gelatine powder
- 2 cups (500ml) of whipped cream
For the Candied Beetroot:
- One or two beetroots,
- 250 milliliters of sugar, and 250 milliliters of water
Garnishes:
- Mini herbal teas
- Store-purchased shortbread
- Raspberries that have been freeze-dried
- Fresh berries
- Beetroot candies
- Puffed rice or millet
Method:
- Puree the berries in a blender and then pass the mixture through a fine strainer. Sponges or bloom gelatine with cold milk in a dish.
- The sugar and berry puree should be combined in a saucepan over low heat. After the sugar dissolves, stir. Stir the milk-gelatine mixture in until it dissolves; do not boil. Take off the heat source and leave it to cool.
- Cream should be whipped to delicate peaks. To keep the air in the cream, gently fold the berry puree into it in stages.
- After dividing the mixture into four cereal bowls, chill for two to three hours to allow it to solidify.
- Accompany with candied beetroot slices, puffed rice or millet, freeze-dried raspberries, and foraged wild berries.
Beetroot candied:
- Cut the beetroot thinly. After dissolving the sugar in the water, boil it for two minutes to create a sugar syrup. After adding the sliced beets, simmer for a further five minutes.
- Take the beetroot out of the syrup and place it on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Let it cool to room temperature.
