The diplomat is an elegant dessert, perfect for impressing guests, but also for indulging yourself on a quiet evening. This recipe for diplomat with caramelized fruits adds a touch of refinement, combining the smooth texture of the cream with the sweetness of the fruits. Let's see how we can achieve this delicious dessert step by step!

Necessary ingredients:

- 1 pack of large ladyfingers
- 5 eggs
- 500 ml whipped cream
- 1 pack of gelatin
- 400 g canned fruits (pineapple, pears, peaches)
- 100 g sugar
- 1 orange essence
- 2-3 tablespoons juice from the compote
- A splash of brandy or coffee (optional, for serving)

Preparation instructions:

1. Preparing the cream: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Place the yolks in a heat-resistant bowl and add the sugar. Place the bowl over a double boiler and whisk the mixture until it becomes creamy and doubles in volume. These are the secrets to an airy and delicate cream.

2. Cooling the cream: Once the cream has reached the desired consistency, remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool completely. This is an important step, as warm cream can melt the whipped cream added later.

3. Preparing the whipped cream: In the meantime, whip the cold cream (500 ml) until it becomes firm. Make sure the cream is well chilled before whipping it to achieve optimal consistency.

4. Preparing the gelatin: In a small bowl, soak the gelatin in 2-3 tablespoons of juice from the compote. Let it hydrate according to the instructions on the package, then gently heat until completely dissolved.

5. Combining the ingredients: Once the cream has cooled, add the orange essence, the whipped cream, and the dissolved gelatin. Gently fold with a spatula, being careful not to lose volume.

6. Adding the fruits: Drain the canned fruits well, chop them into small cubes, and fold them into the cream mixture. They will add a perfectly balanced sweet-sour taste.

7. Assembling the diplomat: Line the bottom and sides of a cake pan with ladyfingers. Pour half of the diplomat cream, add a layer of ladyfingers, and top with the remaining cream. This step will provide an interesting texture to the dessert.

8. Cooling: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This is where the magic happens – the flavors meld together, and the consistency becomes perfect.

9. Serving: Finally, you can decorate the diplomat with fresh or caramelized fruits for an appealing look. If desired, you can drizzle each slice with a bit of brandy or coffee to enhance the flavors.

Personal suggestion: Replace the canned fruits with fresh seasonal fruits for a healthier and more vibrant option. Also, you can try adding a splash of cocoa to the diplomat cream to create an interesting flavor contrast.

Now you are ready to prepare this simple and refined dessert! Regardless of the occasion, diplomat with caramelized fruits will surely be a successful choice. Enjoy!
