Discover the magic of the Christmas season with the culinary talent of Carles Mampel through our exclusive recipe for Galette des Rois with raspberry gel.
The “Galette des Rois” is a traditional French dessert commonly associated with the celebration of Epiphany. This galette is a kind of flat puff pastry filled with an almond mixture called frangipane. Tradition dictates that a surprise figure, known as the “fève”, is hidden in the galette, and the one who finds the figure in his or her portion is crowned king or queen for the day.
The recipe we are sharing has been prepared by chef Carles Mampel and stands out for its special touch: a Raspberry Gel made with Gellan Gum.
This gel, containing this gelling agent, makes it possible to create thermo-reversible jellies whose structure is maintained during the baking of the galette.
In addition, the puff pastry dough used in the recipe is of high quality, featuring premium ingredients such as Elle&Vire and Adamance. These premium ingredients elevate the traditional recipe, giving a distinctive and exquisite touch to the Galette des Rois.
This delicious dessert is just one of the recipes in our special dossier of Christmas recipes that we at Sosa ingredients have designed.
