INGREDIENTS
 

  • 2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cold water
  • 5 ounces/140 grams white chocolate, finely chopped
  • cups/350 grams heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or seeds from 1 vanilla bean
  • 14 ounces/400 grams frozen raspberries
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 12 ounces/350 grams white chocolate
  • 8 ounces/220 grams cocoa butter
  • Red oil-based food coloring, as needed
  • Pink oil-based food coloring, as needed
  • Optional Franuí-style coating
  • 9 ounces/250 grams white chocolate
  • 3.5 ounces/100 grams cocoa butter
  • 9 ounces/250 grams milk chocolate
  • 3.5 ounces/100 grams cocoa butter

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Bloom the gelatin by stirring it with the cold water in a small bowl. Refrigerate until fully set.
  • Place the white chocolate, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon bloomed gelatin in a large heatproof bowl.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour it over the chocolate mixture and let sit for 1 minute. Blend with an immersion blender, or whisk, until smooth. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
  • To make the raspberry filling, combine the raspberries and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of bloomed gelatin until dissolved. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Pipe the raspberry mixture into half-sphere silicone molds and freeze until solid, about 3 hours. Unmold and join two halves to form a sphere. Keep frozen until ready to use.
  • Whip the chilled ganache until it holds soft, stable peaks.
  • Pipe the ganache halfway into raspberry-shaped silicone molds. Use a small spoon to press it into the sides of each cavity. Add a frozen raspberry sphere to the center, then cover with more ganache and smooth the tops. Freeze until completely firm, at least 6 hours.
  • Melt the white chocolate and cocoa butter together until smooth. Tint with the red and pink food coloring until the coating looks like ripe raspberries. Let cool to 91°F/33°C.
  • Unmold the frozen desserts. Insert a small knife into the bottom of each one, dip it into the coating, and let the excess drip off. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze until ready to serve.
  • For the optional Franuí-style coating, melt the white chocolate with the cocoa butter in one bowl and the milk chocolate with the cocoa butter in another. Cool both to 91°F/33°C. Dip each frozen dessert first in the white chocolate, leaving the top exposed. Freeze until set, then dip in the milk chocolate.
  • Store in the refrigerator. For the crispest shell, freeze for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
