Ingredients

  • 300 ml Milk, whole milk

  • 350 ml Sweet cream

  • 5 pieces Egg, egg yolk, fresh

  • 0.5 piece Vanilla, extract, natural

  • 120 g Sugar, white

  • 5 g Gelatin powder, unsweetened

  • 1 spoon Tomato, concentrate

  • 4 pieces Walnuts

  • 4 teaspoon chocolate, dark

Tomato marmalade

  • 400 g Tomato, pieces - can

  • 200 g Sugar, white

  • 1 teaspoon Spices, ginger, ground

  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest, fresh

  • 1 bag Sugar, white

Steps

  1. In a bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the egg yolks and sugar until frothy. In a small bowl, mix the gelatin with a few tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to swell. In a saucepan, heat the milk over moderate heat, adding half of the vanilla pod. Once the milk boils, remove the vanilla pod, take the saucepan off the heat, and mix in the egg yolks. Return the saucepan to the stove and cook over moderate heat for another 10 minutes to form the cream. Stir continuously with a hand whisk.

  2. Strain the cream, then mix in the gelatin and tomato concentrate. Cook over moderate heat for another 5 minutes while stirring.

  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cream cool completely. In a bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the sweet cream. Fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard. Divide the prepared cream into four glasses and refrigerate for 4 hours.

  4. Meanwhile, prepare the tomato jam. In a saucepan, mix the peeled cherry tomatoes (along with their juice) with sugar, ginger, lemon zest, and vanilla sugar. Place the saucepan over moderate heat and cook the jam for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let the prepared jam cool.

  5. Decorate the cooled cream with the tomato jam, grated chocolate, and a walnut kernel. Serve the prepared dessert.

Advice

If desired (and available), you can add a bit of sambuca (Italian liqueur) to the jam. Its best to use an organic lemon, as its peel is not treated with pesticides. If organic lemons are not available, soak the lemon in hot water for a few minutes and wipe it thoroughly to remove the wax containing toxins.
