Iced Chocolate Glacé Fruit Pudding
Ingredients:
130 g sugar
4 eggs, separated
400 g cream (35%)
2 Tbsp liqueur of your choice (Grand Marnier, Kahlua, Frangelico, etc)
150 g mixed candied peel or glace fruit(cherries, apricots, pineapple, …)
90 g chocolate, dark. Milk or white (your choice), roughly chopped
Optional – 60 g honeycomb or a Violet Crumble bar, roughly chopped
You will need a 1.5 litre pudding basin
Method:Place the sugar into a dry, clean TM bowl and grind for
30 seconds on
speed 9. Set aside in a cup or bowl, and roughly wipe out with a dry spatula. You can leave some sugar in the bowl.
Next, place the egg whites into the TM bowl with the butterfly and whip for
3 minutes at 37°C on speed 4. Set the machine to
3 minutes at 37°C on speed 4, and add the sugar gradually through the hole in the lid. The result should be a firm meringue mixture. Remove this and place into a large mixing bowl. No need to clean the bowl.
Place the cream, egg yolks and liqueur into the TM bowl with the butterfly and whip for about
30 - 40 seconds on speed 4, until it is thickened. Add this to the meringue mixture and gently fold through. No need to clean the bowl.
Place the chocolate in the TM bowl and melt for
3 minutes at 50°C on speed 1.
Add the fruits to the TM bowl and mix for
20 seconds on Reverse + speed 2. Pour onto some silicon paper or a plate and allow to cool before adding to the cream and meringue mixture. If you want to add some honeycomb then do so now.
Pour mixture into the pudding basin. Cover with plastic wrap and place in freezer.
To serve, dip the bowl briefly in hot water, then slide a knife around the edge. Turn upside down onto a serving plate.
Hints/Tips:The original recipe also had slivered almonds, but I forgot! It is best to allow the mixture to freeze a bit before adding the fruit, but you can just tip it in and it should work OK.
