Raspberry Rose Savarin

Raspberry Rose Savarin

Ingredients
  

Savarin dough:

  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 g salt
  • 25 g white sugar
  • 100 g butter (room temperature)
  • 200 g whole eggs
  • 10 g fresh yeast
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

Raspberry rose syrup:

  • 600 ml water
  • 200 g raspberry puree
  • 300 g white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rose water

Whipped ganache:

  • 250 ml heavy cream A
  • 50 g honey
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 200 g white chocolate
  • 375 ml heavy cream B

Instructions
 

Savarin dough:

  • Combine the flour, salt, sugar, butter and eggs in the bowl of your stand mixer.
  • Begin kneading with the dough hook until well combined then continue mixing on low speed for 8 minutes.
  • Add the butter, a bit at a time, mixing until incorporated.
  • Add the fresh yeast, lemon zest and orange zest and continue mixing for a few more minutes on low to medium speed until the yeast is well mixed in.
  • When properly kneaded, turn the mixer off and allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough in a pastry bag fitted with a large round nozzle and pipe it into your prepared pans. I used 16 mini bundt cakes which I greased with butter before use.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 1/2 hours or until more than double in volume.
  • When proofed enough, place in the preheated oven at 200C and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool down slightly in the pan then remove and place on a wire rack to chill.

Rose raspberry syrup:

  • Combine the water and sugar in a bowl. Cook for 5 minutes then remove from heat and add the raspberry puree.
  • Allow to cool down for 10 minutes then stir in the rose water.
  • While the syrup is still warm, place each savarin into the syrup and allow to soak up as needed.
  • Reserve the syrupy savarins in the fridge.

Whipped ganache:

  • Combine the heavy cream A, honey and vanilla bean (split in half lengthwise) in a pot and bring to the boiling point. Remove from heat and allow to infuse for 10 minutes then reheat the cream. Remove the vanilla bean.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and blend to emulsify.
  • While blending, pour in the heavy cream B.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
  • Whip until stiff and cream then spoon into a pastry bag.
  • Pipe a dollop of ganache over each savarin.
  • Decorate as you wish!
