Title: Mandarin bavarois
Post by: Paul on June 20, 2009, 11:00:11 am
This one is perfect for the thermomix, adapted from a very old Stephanie Alexander recipe.

2 mandarins (preferably clementines, or ones with tighter skins)
150 g sugar
4 egg yolks
350 ml milk
4 leaves gelatin
60 ml strained mandarin juice
350 ml lightly whipped cream

Peel the zest with a vege peeler and put in TMX with the sugar, blitz on 9 until completely zested
Add the egg yolks and blend on 6 until mixed and aerated
Add the milk and cook at 80 C speed 3 for 10-12 minutes or more until thickened (see comments later)
Strain into a cold bowl

Add the gelatine leaves to a bowl of cold water for a few minutes
Put the mandarin juice in a saucepan, and when boiling add gelatin leaves (squeezed to remove excess water), swish to dissolve
Let cool for a couple of minutes, then add to custard, mixing well
Leave to cool to room temperature
Fold in whipped cream, then put into a mould in the fridge

I'm still having trouble with the custard.  It curdled the first time set to 90.  When set to 80, it never seems to thicken!  So I cooked on 80 for 10 minutes, then did 90 at 1 minute intervals until thickened, checking carefully each time.  Maybe if I left it for longer at 80 it would thicken, I'll have to try.

I put it in a jelly mould, and then added mandarin/champagne jelly for the base, another Stephanie recipe.  If anyone wants the jelly recipe let me know, the TMX was perfect for juicing the mandarins.  It makes a nice dessert with the jelly base and the creamy top.

Not sure, but with the custard base for this, think it only needs to thicken to point where, if you dipped a wooden spoon in, then it should coat the back and if you run a finger thru it leaves a clear line.

Not sure where this recipe is from ?  an old magazine/newspaper ? her Cook's Companion ?

Once the gelatine mix is added it should be plenty thick enough ??

It's from "Feasts and stories", which is a very enjoyable book to read.  I think I am just going to stick with 80, that way I won't curdle it.
