Raspberry Cheese Mont Blanc Shortcake
- 45 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Milk
- 60 grams Creme Chantilly
- 6 berries Raspberries for the cream
- 5 berries Raspberries for decoration
- 30 grams Water
- 10 grams Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 40 grams Caster sugar
- 30 grams Cake flour
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 10 grams Butter
- 100 grams Heavy cream
- 20 grams Granulated sugar
- Make the spongecake.
- Add the egg whites to a bowl.
- Add the sugar a little at a time while beating with a hand mixer to thoroughly form fluffy peaks.
- Switch to a rubber spatula, add in the egg yolk, and roughly mix together.
- Add the sifted powdered ingredients in 4-5 batches and use a rubber spatula to mix it in using a cutting motion without kneading.
- Add the next batch of powdered ingredients once the previous batch has been just about mixed in.
- Mix together the milk and butter.
- Heat in the microwave.
- Add a little bit of the batter from Step 3.
- Put the mixture from Step 4 back into the bowl.
- The batter is complete when the batter drips down like a ribbon.
- Pour into a parchment paper lined cake mold, tap it against the counter 2-3 times to get rid of air bubbles, and bake for 20-25 minutes at 170C (or 338 F).
- Once it has finished baking, drop it once from a high location right away to get rid of excess air.
- Remove from the mold, flip it over, and let cool as-is with the parchment paper.
- Slice off the browned surfaces from the top and sides.
- Slice and divide into 3 slices.
- Since it's a pound cake mold, I think it's easy to slice.
- Cut them pretty thinly.
- Put the syrup ingredients in a container and heat up in the microwave to dissolve the sugar.
- Set aside to cool.
- Add the creme Chantilly ingredients to a bowl and whip.
- Make the cheese cream.
- In a separate bowl, add the cheese, lemon juice, and milk.
- Knead to mix well, then mix in 60 g of Step 11.
- On the slice of spongecake that will be used for the bottom, spread on syrup with a paintbrush and coat with a little bit of Step 11.
- Place the center slice of cake on top and spread with more syrup.
- Add crushed raspberries to the remaining creme Chantilly to make a raspberry cream.
- Spread the raspberry cream on the center cake for the second layer.
- Top with the last slice of cake and spread on the syrup.
- Thinly coat with a small amount of the cheese cream.
- Put the cream in a piping bag and use a Mont Blanc piping tip to pipe onto the cake.
- Once it's all assembled, it's finished.
- Let cool completely in the refrigerator.
- Cut into 5 pieces, decorate, and enjoy!
- It goes very well with strong black coffee.
