Method
- 1
Bloom. sprinkle the gelatine over the cold water in the small bowl and leave 5 min. Soaking first lets the gelatine dissolve without lumps.
- 2
Warm. heat the cream, sugar and salt, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and it is steaming but not boiling. Off the heat, stir in the gelatine until fully melted. Cool 10 min.
- 3
Add buttermilk. whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla; adding it to the cooled cream stops it curdling. Pour into the jug and fill the moulds. Too much heat would split the buttermilk.
- 4
Set. stand the moulds on the tray and chill at least 6 h. A long chill gives a soft, wobbly set.
- 5
Coulis. blend the raspberries, icing sugar and lemon juice and press through the sieve. Sieving removes the seeds for a smooth sauce.
- 6
Turn out. dip each mould in hot water for 5 s, run a knife round the edge and invert onto a plate. Spoon a pool of coulis on top.
Storage
Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the coulis separately for up to 3 days. Do not freeze.
