Häppiness Heart Swiss Gateau
Ingredients for a 300mm heart-shaped cake ring
- 100 g icing, light coloured
- 2 x 50g packs of Kägi
- 6 gelatine sheets
- 250g raspberries
- 2 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 sachet of Bourbon vanilla
- 500g natural yogurt
- 150ml cream
Decoration
- 2 gelatine sheets
- 400g raspberries
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 5 tbsp water
- 150ml cream
Preparation
1 Allow the icing to melt by placing it in hot water. Cut the Kägi into very small pieces with a sharp knife and stir into the icing. Place the heart-shaped cake ring on a cake plate. Distribute the Kägi mixture in the cake ring and press down firmly. Place in a refrigerator and allow to set.
2. Soak the gelatine sheets in cold water. Simmer the raspberries with the water, sugar and vanilla sugar. Puree and pass through a sieve. Squeeze out the gelatine and stir into the hot raspberry puree. Stir in the yogurt, a spoonful at a time. Place in a refrigerator and allow to set slighty.
3. As soon as the edge of yogurt mixture starts to set, whip the cream and fold this in carefully. Spread over the Kägi base. Cover and allow to set in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.
4. For the decoration, soak 2 sheets of gelatine in cold water. Set aside 100 g of raspberries. Simmer the remaining raspberries with the sugar and water for approx. 5 minutes. Pass through a sieve; if necessary fill up to 200 ml with water. Bring to a simmer again. Squeeze out the gelatine and stir into the liquid. Allow to cool. Pour over the gateau and refrigerate for 2 hours, until set. Whip the cream and pipe onto the heart. Garnish with remaining raspberries.
Option
Instead of raspberries, use other berries such as strawberries, blackberries or currants. The gateau mixture is also sufficient for a springform tin, 240mm in diameter.
Preparation time
approx. 90 minutes
+ approx. 8 hours for refrigeration

Ingredients
250g elbow macaroni
2 cups whole milk
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp tarragon mustard
250g Gruyere, grated
200g Emmental, grated
200g Blackforest Ham, cut into small cubes

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 200C. Lightly butter a 200mm x 350mm baking dish.
2. Cook the macaroni in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Place the butter in a medium saucepan and melt over at medium heat. Add the flour and stir until the roux begins to take on a light brown color, scraping the bottom to prevent burning, for about 3 minutes. Slowly add the milk and stir constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in salt and pepper. Add mustard and most of the cheese to sauce and stir until it has completely melted.
4. Pour pasta into greased baking dish and toss with ham. Pour the cheese sauce over the top of the pasta and stir gently to incorporate into the ham and the noodles. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 30 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
