Ingredients
Bloom the gelatin (30 ml for grain gelatin) in chilled water. Line your cake tin with sponge. Add the cream cheese and fresh cheese in a steel bowl, use a double boiler to warm it until the cheese is smooth, add the gelatin to the mix, and set aside. Add the egg white and sugar in a mixing bowl, pop it on top of the double boiler, and keep whisking by hand until it’s warm. Then use a balloon whisk until it makes soft peaks. Fold meringue to the first mix until it combines properly and pour into the cake mold. Pop it into the chiller for 3 hours, after which you can take it out and garnish with fresh fruits, mint, mango, or any other garnish of your choice.
