My First Blog!

So a couple of my friends decided to make up blogs so people could track their daily lives, or their uniquie talents! They suggested that i should start one, because im in school for culinary!! Every couple of days for school i am required to make some sort of fancy dish, and i thought i would start sharing them with you... and i'll try to sneak a picture whenever i can!
Every Thursday we (as in my class) cook for a live audience and for the public and each week we are each assigned a different task! This week mine is dessert!!! I'm not a true lover of dessert but i think i can appreciate it!
Anyway! Today in class I have to make a Raspberry Mousse with white chocolate shavings to garnish! Here's the Recipe i will be creating today:) :

Raspberry Mousse (creates for one Liter or 8 people)

Gelatin 6 Sheets
Raspberries Pureed 360grams
Sugar 90 grams
Raspberry Brandy (Mmm) 30mL
Cream 35% (whipping cream) 250mL

Steps to make this fine dish!
1) Soften the Gelatin in ice water and set aside (Ice water is 50% water and 50% ice)
2)Place the Raspberries, sugar and brandy in a saucepan and warm up just enough to dissolve the sugar than remove from the heat and strain through a very thin strainer (for those of you who talk cooking... you can use a chinois)
3) Add the Gelatin, stirring until it has dissolved into the mix, then chill until its thick but not all the way set:)
4) Whip up your cream into a soft paste (this could take some arm strenght!) and then gently fold (mix) into the raspberry mixture!

Don't forget to throw your shaved white chocolate on top to garnish this beautiful dessert!

And Volia! Your very own Raspberry Mousse with White chocolate garnish!
Try it out:) and let me know how it goes!!! :)
