Chocolate Chicory Bombe with Raspberry Compote
Chef Jehangir Mehta , Partistry


Ingredients


20 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup
1 cup bittersweet chocolate, melted, held warm
2 tablespoons, chicory powder
1 quart heavy cream, whipped (measure before whipping)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon star anise
1 cup bittersweet chocolate, grated to form flake

Raspberry Compote
1 pint raspberries
½ cup sugar
2 lime zest


Method

Beat yolks in an upright mixer at medium speed. In a saucepot, cook sugar and corn syrup on medium heat until large bubbles appear. Add the chicory powder, cinnamon and star anise to the boiling syrup. Turn mixer to high speed and add the cooked sugar slowly to the bowl while the mixer is on. When sugar syrup has been added, return mixer to slow speed and add melted chocolate.
When chocolate is completely incorporated, turn off mixer and remove bowl from stand. Using a rubber spatula check the edges of the bowl to make sure that all ingredients are completely combined, then gently fold in the whipped cream. Pour this mixture in 6 half round molds and freeze. Once frozen, remove from molds and place in back of the freezer on a sheet pan lined with paper.
Just before serving, liberally sprinkle with the chocolate flakes.

Raspberry Compote


Heat skillet, add the raspberries, sugar and zest. Toss for 30 seconds and remove. Place the chocolate bombés on a plate and drizzle warm raspberry compote around the dish.
