  • 2 sheets Gelatine
  • 250 ml Milk
  • 30 g Butter or margarine
  • 120 g + 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 50 g Wheat semolina
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated rind of 1/2 untreated lemon

  • 400 g Sour cherries
  • 25 g Cornstarch
  • 300 ml Cherry nectar
  • 1 knife tip Cinnamon
  • 7-10 Tbsp Lemon balm
  • 7-10 Tbsp Aluminium foil

Directions

  1. 1

    Soak gelatine in cold water. Bring milk, fat and 60 g sugar to the boil. Stir in semolina and let it simmer for about 2 minutes at low heat while stirring. Squeeze the gelatine well and dissolve in the hot semolina. Stir in lemon peel. Pour the mixture into a bowl, place in a cold water bath and let it cool down to room temperature while stirring.

    Whip cream until stiff, fold into the semolina. Cover and put in a cool place for at least 4 hours. For the compote, wash the cherries, drain and stone them. Mix the starch with some juice until smooth. Boil up the rest of the juice, 60 g sugar, cherries and cinnamon. Stir in the starch and let it simmer for about 1 minute while stirring. Let it cool down. For decoration, melt 3 tablespoons of sugar in a flat pan to a golden yellow caramel. Using a fork, draw thin lines of caramel criss-cross on an oiled piece of aluminium foil. Leave to cool and break into pieces. Cut off the mousse with a tablespoon of cam dipped in hot water.
