WHITE CHOCOLATE AND RASPBERRY CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Divide jam evenly among 8 ramekins; spread to cover bottom. Place ramekins in a large baking dish pan with 2-inch (or larger) sides.
• Combine cream and white chocolate in a pan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until chocolate has melted, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup sugar and stir until dissolved; do not boil. Remove from the heat.
• Mix egg yolks, vanilla, and salt together in a bowl with a pour spout. Add cream mixture in slowly, whisking all the white. Pour mixture evenly on top of jam in the ramekins. Fill the outer pan with hot water so it's at least halfway up the outsides of the ramekins; this water bath will keep the egg from becoming rubbery and will keep your custard smooth.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mixture is set but still a little wobbly in the middle; 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer ramekins to a cooling rack to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator to chill, at least 1 hour.
• Remove ramekins from the refrigerator. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon sugar evenly over the top of each custard. Fire custards with a kitchen torch until sugar is liquefied and starts to brown. Allow crust to harden for about 2 minutes, then serve immediately.

WHITE CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare pastry cream: Puree raspberries in a blender. Strain to remove seeds. Set aside pulp; you should have 1 cup.
• Whisk egg yolks, sugar, flour, and cornstarch in a bowl until completely smooth.
• Warm cream in a small saucepan over low heat until just hot enough to steam. Once steaming, add 1/2 of it to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Add that mixture back into the hot cream mixture and continue to heat and stir until custard is very thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the reserved raspberry pulp. Let sit until cooled to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Place parchment or waxed paper over the surface to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the sides and bottoms of two 9-inch round, metal or glass cake pans.
• Prepare cake: Blend cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl at low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cakes from the pans and cool completely, about 15 to 20 more minutes.
• Prepare the frosting: Beat butter and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl on medium speed until creamy. Beat in melted white chocolate. Add vanilla and beat on low speed, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, until light and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a #18 star tip.
• Level the tops of the cooled cake layers with a large serrated knife. Pipe a small amount of frosting onto the center of a serving plate. Put one layer, cut-side down, on the plate. Pipe a thick ring around the top edge of that layer; this will keep the filling in the cake and prevent the layers from sliding. Spread raspberry pastry cream onto the cake. Place to remaining layer, cut-side down, on top. Frost the top and sides with remaining frosting, decorating as desired.
• Hold white chocolate bar in one hand with a paper towel (to stop it from melting in your hand). Use a vegetable peeler and slowly and carefully shave along the length of the bar to form pretty curls. Put chocolate curls on the sides of the cake and place raspberries in a ring around the top edge.

CHOCOLATE, RASPBERRY & ROSE TART

Steps:

• Double-bag the bourbon biscuits in food bags and bash to crumbs with a rolling pin. Repeat with the amaretti. Stir into the melted butter with the sugar. Lightly grease and line the base and sides of an 18 x 28cm rectangular loose-bottomed tart tin with baking parchment (or use a 22-23cm round tin). Press the biscuit mixture into the base and chill for 30 mins while you make the filling.
• For the filling, put the cream and all the chocolate chunks in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Gently melt, stirring very occasionally, until smooth and silky. Dot the raspberries over the base, pour over the chocolate and chill for at least 5 hrs until firm, or overnight.
• To serve, remove from the fridge and, after 15 mins, lift from the tin, peel off the parchment and place on a serving plate. Scatter with a few more raspberries and the diced Turkish delight. Spoon the crème fraîche into a serving bowl, sift in the icing sugar and stir together with the rose water. Cut the tart into squares and serve with the rose crème fraîche.
