Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Part 2........

In a 4 1/2-quart bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer, using the
wire
whip attachment, beat the eggs and the salt at medium-high speed
until
frothy. Add the sugar in a steady stream and beat just until
blended.

Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and place over a pot of hot
water.
(The bottom of the bowl must touch the water.) Cook over
medium-high
heat, whisking constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the
granules of
sugar have dissolved and the egg mixture has reached 140 degrees
F on
an instant-read thermometer. Return the bowl to the mixer stand
and
beat at medium-high speed until the mixture is thick and pale
yellow,
about 8 minutes.

Place the cold water in a small, heatproof cup. Sprinkle the
gelatin
over the water and let it stand for 5 minutes to soften the
gelatin.

Place the cup with the softened gelatin in a saucepan with enough
water
to come halfway up the side of the cup. Heat the gelatin mixture
over
hot, not simmering, water. Stir the gelatin frequently for 3 to 4
minutes, or until the gelatin granules dissolve completely and the
mixture is clear. Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk the
dissolved
gelatin mixture into the beaten egg mixture. Using a large rubber
spatula, fold the cooled white chocolate into the mixture. Fold
one-third of the whipped cream into the mixture to lighten it.
Fold in
the remaining whipped cream.

Assemble the veloutes:
Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain l/2-inch round tip with
some of
the veloute mixture. Pipe a circle of filling into the bottom of
each
mold, on top of the cake round. Pipe more veloute to fill in the
center
of the circle so that the entire cake round is covered with a
level
layer of filling, approximately one-third up the side of the mold.
In each mold, place 6 to 7 raspberries in a circle on top of the
filling, leaving a l/4-inch border of filling around the edge.
Place 1
teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center of each raspberry circle.

Pipe more veloute filling into each mold, to fill completely.
Using a
small metal cake spatula, scrape the top of each mold to make the
filling level with the top of the mold. Cover the molds with
plastic
wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight, until set.

Make the warm chocolate curls:
Warm the 8-ounce chunk of white chocolate by placing it on a
piece of
waxed paper, then microwave on MEDIUM (50 percent) power for 10
second
intervals, until the chocolate starts to soften slightly. The
chocolate
should soften slightly, not melt.

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Grip the chocolate chunk
with a
folded paper towel so that your hand does not melt the chocolate.
Using
a sharp vegetable peeler, scrape one of the edges of the chocolate
chunk in a downward motion, forming loose shavings. As you form
the
curls, let them fall onto the waxed paper. Continue making curls
until
you have enough to garnish just the tops of the veloutes.

Make the crumb garnish:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with
aluminum
foil. Break the reserved sponge cake into small pieces and spread
in an
even layer on the baking sheet. Bake 5 to 7 minutes, until the
cake is
dry and lightly toasted. Allow the cake pieces to cool. Place the
cake
"toast" in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade
and
process 30 to 45 seconds, or until fine crumbs are formed.
Transfer the
crumbs to a medium bowl.

Make the raspberry sauce:
In a medium non-corrosive saucepan, combine the raspberries and
sugar.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden
spoon,
until the sugar dissolves completely and the berries soften.
Remove the
pan from the heat. Strain the raspberry mixture through a
fine-meshed
sieve into a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and
refrigerate the
sauce.

Unmold and garnish the veloutes:
Remove the molds from the refrigerator and gently peel the tape
off the
seams. Carefully remove the molds from the veloutes . Gently pat
the
cake crumbs around the sides of each veloute, covering them
evenly from
the top edge to the bottom. Top the veloutes with the white
chocolate
curls.
