Raspberry and rose squares

Raspberry And Rose Squares

These raspberry squares are incredibly delicious and not excessively sweet. A perfect picnic dessert! For the « no cook » version, replace the shortcrust pastry with a Graham cracker crust.

Raspberry coulis

  • 2 cups raspberries (set aside ½ cup for the assembly)
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup sugar 
  • ½ Tbsp tapioca starch or cornstarch 

Shortbread

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup un-salted butter, melted 

Cheese garnish

  • 2 cups very cold 35% whipping cream (set aside ¼ cup)
  • 1 gelatin sachet
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp rose water
  • 375g cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup melted white chocolate, room temperature

Raspberry coulis

  1. 1

    Set aside about ½ cup raspberries for assembling the squares.

  2. 2

    Put all the coulis ingredients into a pan, bring to a boil on high heat and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the coulis adheres to the back of the spoon.

  3. 3

    Using a spatula, press the preparation through a strainer to remove any seeds (makes about ¾ cup coulis).

  4. 4

    Pour into a squeeze bottle or a glass jar and allow to cool completely in the refrigerator.

Shortbread

  1. 1

    Lightly oil a rectangular 9 X 13 mold and line it with parchment paper, taking care to leave an excess band of paper which will facilitate the unmolding of the squares. 

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the grill in the center.

  3. 3

    Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then incorporate the melted butter until a homogeneous dough is obtained.

  4. 4

    Press the shortcrust pastry into the bottom of the mold making an even base, using a fork, perforate the dough generously.

  5. 5

    Cook the crust for 30 minutes in the oven then let cool completely. Set aside.

Cheese garnish

  1. 1

    Pour ¼ cup cream into a small pan and sprinkle gelatin on the cream. Melt the gelatin on low heat. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Whisk the cream and the sugar in a cold mixing bowl until firm peaks form. Transfer the whipping cream into another bowl and set aside. 

  3. 3

    Using the same mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it becomes smooth.

  4. 4

    Add the cream and gelatin mixture, melted white chocolate, vanilla and rose water, and continue to beat until all the ingredients are well combined.

  5. 5

    Using a spatula, delicately incorporate the whipping cream into the cheese and white chocolate preparation, without mixing excessively.

Assembly

  1. 1

    Pour half the garnish on the crust, garnish using the reserved raspberries. Cover the remaining garnish.

  2. 2

    Squeeze the coulis on the squares using the bottle or dip a chopstick or a butter knife into the glass jar, to draw a pattern.

  3. 3

    Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Service

  1. 1

    When ready to serve, slide a knife around the mold, then extract the excess band of parchment paper in order lift the squares. Place on a cutting board.  

  2. 2

    Reheat the knife blade under hot water, cut squares or rectangles to the size of your choice, taking care to clean the knife after each incision, reheating whenever necessary.
