I had been dreaming of this flavor combinationârose, lychee, raspberry, and fromage blancâfor quite a while.When Silikomart reached out and invited me to become an ambassador, I saw this mold and it was an instant yes. Its delicate shape perfectly captured the softness and lightness I had envisioned for this cake.I had previously worked with lychee in my âPamplitchiâ workshop, where I paired it with grapefruit.This time, I wanted to use it to balance out the tanginess of raspberry and yogurt.

Instructions
Raspberry Madeleine Sponge
Prepare brown butter by melting the butter until golden and fragrant. Let it cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk the egg and sugar. Add honey and mix well.
Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix again.
Add room-temperature milk, then stir in the cooled brown butter.
Pour the batter 1 cm thick into a 16 cm ring. Add a few raspberries on top.
Bake at 170°C (340°F) for 10â12 minutes.
Cool, then cut to 14 cm using a ring. Keep inside the ring for building the insert.
Raspberry Confit
Cook raspberries with lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, mix sugar and pectin.
Once the berries have softened, add the sugar-pectin mixture and boil for 1 minute.
Pour the confit over the madeleine base (inside the 14 cm ring). Freeze.
Reserve a small portion for decoration.
Lychee-Rose CrĂŠmeux
Bloom gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes.
Heat lychee purĂŠe, cream, and rose water in a saucepan.
In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar into the egg yolks immediately to avoid cooking the yolks.
Pour the hot liquid over the yolks, whisking constantly.
Return to heat and cook until thickened (or 83°C / 181°F).
Remove from heat and stir in gelatin.
Pour over the frozen raspberry confit. Freeze again until set.
Shortbread Base
Cream the softened butter with powdered sugar. Add lemon zest.
Mix in flour and egg yolk.
Roll out between two sheets of parchment to 2 mm thickness. Chill.
Cut out a 14 cm disk and bake at 160°C (320°F) for 10 minutes.
Cool completely before final assembly.
Fromage Blanc Mousse + Assembly
Bloom gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes. Melt briefly in microwave after resting.
Heat sugar and water to 120°C (248°F) to make a syrup.
Meanwhile, whip egg yolks until light and doubled in volume.
Once syrup is ready, pour over yolks while whisking at high speed.
Add melted gelatin and continue whipping until the mixture cools to room temperature.
Gently fold in the fromage blanc.
Whip the cream to soft peaks (do not overwhip) and gently fold into the mousse base.
Building the Entremets
Fill the Fairy Tale mold halfway with the fromage blanc mousse.
Gently place the frozen insert (madeleine + confit + crĂŠmeux) in the centerâit will sink on its own.
Cover with more mousse and place the shortbread disk on top.
Freeze overnight.
Finishing (Day of Serving)
Unmold the frozen entremets. Spray with white velvet spray.
Add a small spoonful of warmed raspberry confit into the wing of the butterfly.
Attach dried rose petals using glucose or neutral glaze.
Notes
đ Notes
If raspberry seeds bother you, strain the confit.
Choose a high-quality rose water to avoid a soapy taste.
Donât overwhip the cream or itâll be hard to fold inâtoo much air can collapse and create a dense mousse.
