The history of savarins is fascinating, being a dessert that has won the hearts of many people over time. This soft and aromatic delight is often associated with moments of celebration and joy. The recipe I will share today comes from my cousin, who managed to transform a simple combination of ingredients into a spectacular dessert, perfect for any occasion. Whether you want to impress your guests or treat yourself, these cherry jam savarins are the ideal choice.

Ingredients:

For the savarins:
- 5 eggs
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon of flour

For the filling:
- 250 ml of Hulala cream

For the syrup:
- 300 ml of water
- 200 g of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of rum essence

For decoration:
- Cherry jam

Step 1: Preparing the savarin mixture

Start by separating the eggs. It is important that the egg whites are beaten until they form firm peaks, so use a high-speed mixer. This step is essential, as it will give the savarins a light and fluffy texture.

Once the egg whites are beaten, gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until the sugar is completely dissolved and you achieve a glossy mixture. This is the moment to add the yolks, gently folding with a spatula to avoid losing air from the egg whites.

Once the yolks are incorporated, add the breadcrumbs and flour. These ingredients will give structure to your savarins. Mix everything carefully until it becomes a homogeneous mixture.

Step 2: Preparing the molds

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. While the oven is preheating, grease the molds with oil to prevent the savarins from sticking. You can use muffin molds or savarin molds, depending on your preferences.

Fill each mold with the savarin mixture, being careful not to fill them completely - leave them about half full, as they will rise during baking.

Step 3: Baking

Place the molds in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. You will know they are ready when they turn golden and pass the toothpick test - it should come out clean from the center.

Step 4: Preparing the syrup

While the savarins are baking, it’s time to take care of the syrup. In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, add the rum essence. This will add a rich and delicious flavor to the syrup, which will envelop the savarins in an unmistakable sweetness.

Let the syrup boil for a few minutes, then remove it from the heat and let it cool.

Step 5: Filling and decorating the savarins

Once the savarins have cooled, carefully cut them in half, ensuring you do not ruin their shape. Use a mixer to whip the Hulala cream until it becomes firm. Now, fill each savarin with cream, adding a generous portion.

To finish the dessert, spread cherry jam on top of the savarins. This will not only add a contrast of texture but will also enhance the flavor of the dessert.

Serving:

Savarin pairs well with a cup of coffee or flavored tea. You can also serve them with a spoonful of warm chocolate sauce for an extra touch of decadence. These savarins are ideal for a family Sunday evening or for a party with friends.

Nutritional benefits:

You can appreciate the sweetness of savarins, but it’s good to be aware of the calorie count they bring. A serving contains approximately 300 calories, but it is a good choice for a special occasion due to the energy provided by the eggs and sugar.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I replace sugar with a natural sweetener?
Yes, you can use natural sweeteners, but make sure to follow their usage instructions, as they may have different sweetening powers.

2. What jam options can I use?
Besides cherry jam, you can experiment with strawberry, blueberry jam, or even orange marmalade for an interesting taste.

3. How can I make the savarins lower in calories?
You can reduce the amount of sugar or use light cream for the filling. Additionally, you can replace breadcrumbs with a whole grain version.

4. Can I prepare the savarins in advance?
Of course! Savarins keep well in the fridge for a few days, so you can prepare them a day before serving.

These cherry jam savarins are a delicious choice for a quick, easy-to-make dessert that is full of flavor. I hope you enjoy every bite and bring a touch of joy to every meal! Enjoy!
