Do you remember the roasted rhubarb from Monday? All the combinations imaginable with strawberries? Wanna play some more?
If the last post didn't convince you, I hope these pictures will have you running to your grocery store!
This time, we're making verrines (which is the french for "little glass"). They are veeery creamy. It's like eating a yogurt cloud, minus the acidity. Not the small and pale clouds in a warm day, which would leave you nothing but air in the mouth (not that this isn't good sometimes). No, the big and fluffy ones, the glossy white ones in the blue sky. A delicious cloud, filled with fruits... You know what? It could totally be the care bears' favourite food! (ok, I realize I watched way too much TV as a kid!!)
Now, they may seem complicated, because of the 3 different layers. But they're all based on the same thing, so all you have to do is whip some cream, puree some strawberries, get some more roasted rhubarb (because you've already eaten the previous batch, right?), and you've already done almost all the work!

Note : You won't need all the rhubarb for the dessert, it's the same recipe than in the previous post.
Roasted Rhubarb
1 pound rhubarb
1/4 cup sugar
Cut the rhubarb into 2 inch strips.
Toss the rhubarb with the sugar in a baking pan. Bake at 375F for 15 to 20 minutes (until it is soft).
Little Strawberry and Rhubarb verrines
For 4-5 people
1/2 cup + 1/8 cup heavy cream
8 oz. strawberries
8 oz. "fromage blanc" (you probably could use some cottage cheese or mascarpone cheese instead)
2 Tbsp sugar
5 oz. roasted rhubarb
2.5 tsp powdered gelatin
Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks with one teaspoon sugar.
Puree 7 oz. strawberries and cut the rest into small dices.
In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 tsp gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water, and let it sit while you make the rest of the mousse.
Combine the remaining sugar, the fromage blanc and half of the strawberry puree. Melt the gelatin in the microwave for 20 seconds and add it to the mousse. Fold in 3.5 oz. whipped cream, then the strawberry dices. Pour the mousse in little glasses or jars and let sit 30 minutes in the fridge.
In a small bowl, sprinkle 1/2 tsp gelatin over 1 tsp of water. Melt the gelatin in the microwave and add it the to remaining strawberry puree. Pour a layer over the first mousse in each glass and refrigerate.
Combine roasted rhubarb with remaining whipped cream, and divide between glasses. Decorate with strawberries or macarons...
Rappel : j'avais fait la rhubarbe rôtie précédemment, tout n'est pas nécessaire pour les verrines.
Rhubarbe rôtie
500g de rhubarbe
50g de sucre
Préchauffez le four à 180°.
Nettoyez la rhubarbe sous l'eau, et coupez-là en tronçons de 4 cm. Disposez-là dans un plat et saupoudrez de sucre. Enfournez pour 15 à 20 minutes, jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit tendre.
Verrine au fromage blanc, fraise et rhubarbe
Pour 4-5 verrines
15 cl de crème entière liquide
250g de fraises
250g de fromage blanc
25g de sucre
125g de rhubarbe rôtie
2,5 feuilles de gélatine
Battre la crème en chantilly avec 5g de sucre (une cuillère à café).
Réduisez 200g de fraises en purée et découpez en morceaux les fraises restantes.
Faites tremper 2 feuilles de gélatine dans un bol d'eau froide pendant que vous préparez le reste de la mousse.
Mélangez le fromage blanc, 100g de purée de fraise et 20g de sucre.
Egouttez la gélatine et faites la dissoudre au micro-onde pendant 20 secondes avant de l'ajouter au mélange. Incorporez ensuite 110g de chantilly puis les cubes de fraises, et versez dans vos verrines.
Laissez prendre au frigo pendant 30 minutes.
Faites tremper la demi feuille de gélatine dans un bol d'eau froide. Egouttez-la et faites la dissoudre au micro-onde pendant 10 secondes avant de l'incorporer à la purée de fraise restante. Versez la dans les verrines au dessus de la mousse de fromage blanc. Laissez prendre cette gelée au réfrigérateur pendant 15 minutes.
Mélangez la rhubarbe avec les 50g de chantilly restante, et repartissez la dans les verrines. Décorez de fraises ou d'un macaron.
A conserver au frigo jusqu'à la dégustation...
