Over time, the savarin has evolved, becoming a symbol of festive and delicious sweets. And now, it’s time to put on your chef’s gloves and create your own dessert!

Ingredients

For the savarins
- 5 eggs
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- A pinch of baking powder

For the syrup
- 300 ml water
- 200 g sugar
- 1 bottle of rum essence (recommended Dr. Oetker)

For the filling
- 500 ml liquid cream
- Sugar to taste
- A drop of vanilla essence (optional)

For decoration
- Strawberry or raspberry jam (optional, just the syrup, not the fruits)

Step by step: Preparing the savarins

Step 1: Separating the eggs
Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. This step is essential as the whipped egg whites will give the cakes a fluffy texture. Make sure the bowls in which you will beat the egg whites are completely dry, with no trace of fat.

Step 2: Whipping the egg whites
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until you achieve a firm foam. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until the foam becomes shiny and firm. This step will contribute to volume and aeration.

Step 3: Adding the yolks
Gently fold in the yolks, mixing with a spatula, so you don’t lose the air from the egg whites.

Step 4: Integrating the dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the egg composition, mixing gently until everything is well combined. The batter will be soft but consistent.

Step 5: Preparing the pans
To achieve perfect savarins, use a muffin tin. Place paper liners in the tin or grease the tin with butter to prevent sticking. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 molds.

Step 6: Baking
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Bake the savarins for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden and pass the toothpick test. Once baked, let them cool slightly in the tin before transferring them to a platter.

Preparing the syrup

Step 7: Boiling the sugar
In a saucepan, add the water and sugar and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, let it boil for one minute, then remove from heat. Add the rum essence and let the syrup cool.

Preparing the whipped cream

Step 8: Whipping the cream
In a cold bowl, start whipping the liquid cream. Add sugar to taste (I recommend 2-3 tablespoons, but it depends on your preferences) and, if desired, a drop of vanilla essence. Be careful not to over-whip, or you will end up with butter.

Assembling the savarins

Step 9: Cutting and soaking
Cut the top off the savarins so that you have a “lid” on top. Place them on a platter with the narrow side facing up. Using a spoon, evenly distribute the syrup over each savarin, ensuring that each is well soaked.

Step 10: Filling with cream
Using a pastry bag or a spoon, fill each savarin with whipped cream. You can decorate them with strawberry or raspberry jam if you want to add extra flavor and color.

Step 11: Cooling
Place the filled savarins in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving, so the flavors meld together.

Final notes

Celebrate your success with these delicious pastries! The savarin is perfect for serving alongside fragrant coffee or relaxing tea. You can also combine it with vanilla ice cream or fresh fruit sauce for a delightful contrast.
