Apricot and Aprium ‘Pave’, White Chocolate Mousse, Vanilla Sauce and Blueberry ‘Jam’. Chef’s Notes: With the sun once again shining brightly, we bring to you a dessert redolent with what the Persians referred to as the ‘seed of the sun’. Sweet and tangy, we pair our lovely stone fruit with incredible local blueberries and an unctuous and velvety rich white chocolate mousse. Spring is here, and we’re in love with its bounty. We can’t wait to share it all with you! Bon appetit.

Method

Apricot and Aprium Pave

1

Prepare the Fruit

In a saucepan, combine diced apricots, apriums, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the fruits soften and release their juices, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat.

2

Soften Gelatin

In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it blooms.

3

Combine and Chill

Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm fruit mixture and stir until dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature, then fold in the whipped heavy cream. Pour into a mold and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.

White Chocolate Mousse

4

Melt Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped white chocolate over a double boiler. Allow to cool slightly.

5

Whip Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Set aside.

6

Beat Egg Whites

In another bowl, beat egg whites until frothy, then gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

7

Combine Mixtures

Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream, then gently fold in the egg whites until fully incorporated. Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and chill for at least 2 hours.

Vanilla Sauce

8

Prepare Sauce

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, vanilla bean, and sugar. Heat gently until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain into a serving container.

Blueberry Jam

9

Cook Blueberries

In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool before serving.
