Method
Savarin Dough
Heat milk to 37°c. Mix with the yeast and leave to rise to make a sponge.
When the sponge is ready, mix with the dry ingredients. Use a kitchenaid with a dough hook and mix on medium speed.
Add eggs one at a time, when the dough is ready add the soft butter in stages and mix until smooth and combined.
Pipe the dough into grease-sprayed moulds, use a wet finger to even out any imperfections.
Leave to prove and bake when 3/4 way to top. Bake at 220°c, fan 2, 100% humidity for 14 minutes.
Steamed Rhubarb
Wash the rhubarb and trim the ends and half to make it a more manageable size. Weigh the rhubarb and macerate in 10% caster sugar overnight.
Bag the rhubarb with macerated sugar and spices. Steam at 65°c until just soft. Store in the bags.
Rhubarb Compote:
Cut the washed rhubarb into 1cm sections, macerate in 10% caster sugar overnight, add spices and steam until soft in a bag.
Empty from the bag and remove spices, cook the rhubarb down with the juice in the bag until it has reduced by half. Chill until cold, pulse in a robot coupe.
Vanilla Chantilly:
Combine everything and whisk to a soft peak. Serve in a cold ice cream glass.
Mascarpone Ganache:
Boil cream, soak gelatine, pour cream over chocolate / mascarpone / vanilla / drained gelatine. Bay mix, pass and set.
