Instructions

  1. Heat two pots on the stove with approx. 0.5 l of water each for melting the couverture and whipping the egg cream.
  2. Roughly chop the couverture and gently melt it in a bowl on a water bath at max. 40 ° C.
  3. In another bowl, add egg, egg yolk, ground chilli flakes (dose according to your own taste and heat of the chilli, max. 1.5 teaspoons; the heat develops when steeping) and bourbon vanilla sugar. Beat on the second, not boiling water bath until the volume has doubled and a nice cream has formed. Make sure that the egg does not curdle.
  4. Then slowly but steadily stir the still warm cream into the melted couverture until a homogeneous mass is formed. Stir the chambord into this mixture. Let the cream cool completely.
  5. In the meantime, beat the egg white and cream separately until stiff. First carefully mix the cream and then the egg white with the cream.
  6. Then either pour the cream into a larger bowl or fill it into portion bowls and refrigerate until ready to eat. This takes about 5 - 6 hours. It can also be prepared the day before without any problems.
