The recipe,
step by step

  1. 1

    Sponge fingers

    Whisk the egg white in a mixer and gradually add the sugar. Add the egg yolk, then the sifted flour. Spread onto greaseproof paper to a thickness of 1 cm then bake in a fan-assisted oven at 180°C. Cut out 8 circles that are slightly smaller than the size of the glasses. 

  2. 2

    Fromage blanc cream

    Whip the cream and add to the fromage blanc*. Whisk the egg whites. Add the sugar and a little water that have been heated to 117°C. Add the gelatine (that has been softened in cold water). Combine the two mixtures. Pour into 16 (4 cm) half-sphere silicon moulds and freeze; the remainder will be used for assembling the glasses. 

    *drained overnight

  3. 3

    Red berries nectar

    Bring the frozen strawberries to the boil, remove from the heat and add the raspberry pieces. Blend and strain through a sieve. Add the gelatine (that has been softened in cold water) and the wild strawberry liqueur. The wild strawberry liqueur can be replaced with strawberry syrup. 

  4. 4

    Raspberries

    Mix the raspberries and the raspberry liqueur together and gently crush. The raspberry liqueur can be replaced with strawberry syrup. 

  5. 5

    Assembly and presentation

    Place 10 g of raspberries in the bottom of the glasses. Add 15 g of fromage blanc cream then a sponge finger. Pour in the red berry nectar (20 g) then freeze to allow the nectar to set a little. Add 20 g of fromage blanc cream then the red berries and basil. Stick two half-spheres of cream together and roll in the finely grated white chocolate (grated with a Microplane®). Position on top of the fruit before the sphere is completely defrosted.
