The “Compacto de Frutas” is a recipe that celebrates the freshness and natural flavor of fruits, combining modern techniques to create a visually appealing and delicious dish. This dessert is perfect for those looking for a light and refreshing option.
To prepare the fruit compact, start by cutting the fruit into 2×2 cm cubes and place them in a vacuum bag. Then add the syrup and whole mint, making sure the fruits are well covered. Once everything is in the bag, seal 100% and let stand in the refrigerator for an hour. This process allows the flavors to integrate and intensify, creating a harmonious blend. After resting, drain the fruit and cut it into smaller 0.5×0.5 mm cubes to obtain a more compact and uniform texture, perfect for the final dish.
To achieve the perfect consistency, we have used Gelbinder as a gelling agent. This ingredient is essential to give cohesion to the fruit compact, ensuring that every bite is firm and full of flavor.
