Fruit crémeux (Slideshow version)

Fruit crémeux : Photo of step #26

Overview:

This kind of "crémeux" (it means "creamy", but contains no actual cream) is a basic recipe in the repertoire of French pastry chefs. It is smoother but less frothy than a mousse and uses gelatin to set it as it cools.

Often used as a tart filling or in other desserts, crémeux is usually poured to set in a mould.

This fruity version is made with raspberries.
