How to Make Litchi & Strawberry Entremet 🍓✨

1. Prepare the Litchi Mousse:
   • Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water until soft.
   • In a saucepan, heat the litchi puree and sugar until dissolved. Remove from heat and add the softened gelatin, stirring until fully dissolved. Allow to cool slightly.
   • Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the litchi mixture. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Strawberry Mousse:
   • Repeat the same process as for the litchi mousse using the strawberry puree.
3. Make the Biscuit Base:
   • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
   • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Gradually fold in the flour and melted butter, followed by the vanilla extract.
   • Pour the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool.
4. Assemble the Entremet:
   • Cut the biscuit base to fit your entremet mold.
   • Pour the litchi mousse into the mold and let it set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
   • Once set, add the biscuit base, followed by the strawberry mousse. Let it set for another 2-3 hours.
5. Prepare the Glaze:
   • In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, glucose syrup, and heat until the sugar dissolves.
   • Remove from heat, add gelatin, and white chocolate. Stir until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.
   • Allow the glaze to cool slightly before pouring over the set entremet.
6. Final Assembly:
   • Carefully remove the entremet from the mold and place it on a serving platter.
   • Pour the glaze over the top, ensuring it covers evenly.
   • Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

Substitutions & Additions

If you can’t find litchi puree, feel free to swap it out for another fruit puree like mango or passion fruit. They will add their own unique twist! You can also experiment with different flavors of mousse, or even add fresh fruit pieces into the layers for added texture.

Tips for Success

• Make sure your gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid any lumps in your mousse.
• Allow each layer to set properly before adding the next; it really helps with the final presentation.
• If you’re pressed for time, you can make the components in advance and assemble them the day you plan to serve.

How to Store Litchi & Strawberry Entremet 🍓✨

This entremet is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to keep it covered to maintain its texture and flavor.

FAQs

• Can I freeze the entremet? Yes, you can freeze it, but the texture may change once thawed. It’s best enjoyed fresh!
• What can I use instead of gelatin? You can use agar-agar as a vegetarian alternative, but you may need to adjust the quantity.
