Bring the cream (1) to a boil, add the gelatine mass, and pour over the white chocolate.

Add the remaining cold cream (2) and blend again.

Cover with cling film in direct contact with the surface and allow to crystallise in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Before use, whip until light and pipeable.

Raspberry-cherry confit
