Ingredients for the Creme Brulé with Iced Blueberries, Cherries and Meringues
For the sorbet
For the meringues
For the cherries
Procedure
For the Cream
Proceed with the cream as if making custard. Into the boiling cream pour the yolk-sugar mixture, lemon zest and bring to 82°C. While cooling add the vanilla, gelatin first soaked in cold water, and fresh milk. Strain and place in a siphon before it is completely cold. Insert two cream charges (oxygen) and shake well.
For the Sorbet
After cold mixing the ingredients manually, emulsify them in the sorbet maker for 15 minutes maximum. Before using, let stand and stir with a spatula.
For the Meringues Prepare the meringues and bake them in the traditional way (whip the egg whites with the sugars, and a few drops of lemon or citric acid). When firm, place on the baking sheet in the shape you prefer and dry at 90° until crumbly.
For the Cherries
Prepare the candied cherries by bringing the syrup a dozen times to 80° and each time letting it cool.
Serving the Creme Brulé
In the bottom of the container (copper pan) lay the cherries, meringues, then the sorbet and cream.
Then proceed with the finishing, caramelizing the brown sugar on the surface as for a creme Brulé with the help of the special flame or grating.
