The recipe

For 3 desserts

Almond biscuit (the day before)
✔35g icing sugar
✔35g almond powder
✔10g melted butter
✔25g egg
✔7g flour
✔1 egg white

In a bowl, add the almond powder, icing sugar, flour and melted butter. Mix well. Add the egg and mix again.

In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer. Fold in a small amount to loosen the mixture, then gently fold in the rest using a pastry blender. Pour the biscuit dough onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, smoothing with an angled spatula. Do not spread the dough out too much, so that it is at least 5 to 8 mm thick.

Bake the biscuit for around ten minutes at 180°C. The time may vary depending on the oven. The biscuit should come out golden brown. Take the biscuit out of the oven and leave it to cool before cutting it out with a circular cookie cutter to the diameter of the opening in your silikomart mould.

Blackberry mousse
✔110g blackberries
✔3g gelatine
✔25g sugar
✔110g single cream

Place the gelatine in a large bowl of cold water.
Pour the 110g of blackberries mixed with the caster sugar into a saucepan. Bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the wrung-out gelatine. Set aside. In a salad bowl, whip the cold cream until stiff and gently fold in the cooled mixture using a pastry blender.

Assembly

Pour the blackberry mousse into the Silikomart mini dot mould. Add the almond biscuit. Place in the freezer overnight.

The next day, remove the cakes from the moulds and immediately apply the white velvet spray.

Blackberry jelly
✔45g mixed and strained blackberries (80g blackberries)
✔10g water
✔10g sugar
✔1g gelatine

Place the gelatine in a large bowl of cold water. Blend 80g of blackberries and strain through a fine sieve to remove the skin. Pour into a saucepan with the water and caster sugar and heat through. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, wrung out and softened. Leave to cool slightly before pouring into the hollow of each dessert. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

I decorated it with a blackberry and fresh mint leaves.

Cut the strawberries into very small cubes. Pour the diced strawberries into a saucepan and heat over a low heat for a few minutes. Mix the caster sugar and pectin in a small bowl. Increase the heat and pour this mixture over the strawberries and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Fill a piping bag with the compote and set aside.

White peach mousse
✔2 egg yolks
✔25g sugar
✔160g peaches
✔140g liquid cream
✔4g gelatine

Place the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water. In a bowl, pour the 2 egg yolks and the 25g caster sugar. Mix well.

In a small saucepan, heat the 160g peeled and mixed yellow peaches. Pour over the previous mixture and stir. Return the mixture to the saucepan and, without stopping stirring, continue cooking like a custard, without exceeding 82-83°C. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, wrung out and softened. Mix well and set aside.

In another bowl, whip the 140g of very cold liquid cream with an electric mixer. Pour over the previous mixture, whose temperature is below 30°C, and stir gently with a spatula.

Assembly

Fill the silicone mould 3/4 full with peach mousse. Poach the strawberry compote. Top with peach mousse. Place in the freezer overnight.

Sweet pastry biscuit

Blend the strawberries. Place the gelatine in a bowl of cold water. Pour the blended strawberries with the caster sugar into a small saucepan and heat to a gentle simmer. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, wrung out and softened. I added a small amount of colouring because the strawberries lose their colour when heated. Mix well. Leave to cool a little before filling the openings in your dessert.

Chill for at least 2 to 3 hours before serving.

The recipe

For 4 desserts

Strawberry compote insert (the day before)
✔15g sugar
✔2g NH pectin
✔90g strawberries

In a small bowl, mix the sugar and pectin. Pour the 90g of diced strawberries into a saucepan . Heat over a low/medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring a little. Increase the heat and, as soon as it starts to boil, add the sugar and pectin mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Turn off the heat. Fill 4 cavities of the silikomart small oven insert mould (3/4 full), leave to cool slightly then place in the freezer for at least 3 to 4 hours.

Dahlia petal flower
✔An untreated dahlia flower
✔Sugar powder
✔1 egg white
✔20g white chocolate

Take a dahlia flower and carefully remove the petals. In a small bowl, lightly mix an egg white and brush it onto both sides of the flower petal. Cover the entire petal with the egg white. Immediately dip the petal in a bowl of sugar to coat both sides evenly. Shake the petal lightly to remove the excess sugar and place it flat on a baking tray. Repeat the operation for all the petals. Be patient, as this takes a little time… Leave to dry for at least 24 hours, if possible in the sun. As they dry, the petals lose some of their colour.

The next day, melt some white chocolate in the microwave. Place a small spoon on a square of baking paper and harmoniously place your crystallised petals. I used some kitchen roll around the petals to keep them slightly raised while the chocolate hardened. Allow to set before handling. Store in a dry place, away from moisture (not in the fridge).

Almond biscuit
✔35g icing sugar
✔35g almond powder
✔10g melted butter
✔25g egg

✔a few drops of rose water flavouring

Place the gelatine in a large bowl of cold water.
Pour the 130g of blended strawberries into a saucepan. Bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the wrung-out gelatine. Set aside. In a salad bowl, whip the very cold liquid cream and gently fold in the cooled mixture using a pastry blender.

Assembly
Fill the silikomart mini Goccia X6 mould with strawberry mousse, add the frozen insert, add a little more mousse if necessary and finish with the biscuit. Place in the freezer overnight.

The next day, remove the frozen entremets from the moulds. Immediately apply the velvet spray. I used one white and one pink.

At the last minute, just before serving, add the flowers made from the crystallised dahlia petals.

Peaches in syrup
3 yellow peaches
Water
150g caster sugar
Liquid vanilla

Take 3 large yellow peaches and cut them in half without peeling. Cook in a large saucepan with water, caster sugar and liquid vanilla for about 15 minutes. Cooking time depends on the ripeness of your peaches. Insert the tip of a knife to check for doneness.

Remove the peaches from the pan and keep the cooking juices to drizzle over the peaches after the tart is cooked. I left the peach juices to heat through so that they reduced. Gently peel your peaches and leave them on a paper towel.

Sweet pastry
130g flour
40g icing sugar
8g almond powder
60g butter
1 egg yolk
1 pinch of salt

Mix all the ingredients together, form into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.

Roll out the dough thinly between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper. Cut into the shape of your tart tin. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes. Prick with a fork.

Almond cream
40g softened butter
40g sugar
40g almond powder
40g egg

Cream the butter in a bowl. Add the sugar, almond powder and egg. Mix all the ingredients together and chill the cream.

Top the tart with the almond cream.

Place the well-drained peaches on top (you can cut each peach into strips). Add the flaked almonds. Bake for 45 minutes at 160°C.

You can use a pastry brush to cover the peaches with the cooking juices for extra shine.

I served this tart with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Stabglaces is an emulsifier for making ice cream. It stabilises the aqueous structure of the mixture, preventing the formation of unpleasant ice crystals.

Assembly

Add a little caster sugar to a pan and melt until it is a lovely golden colour. Add the pecans and coat well in the caramel. Pour onto a sheet of baking paper or a silicone mat, spacing them out to prevent them sticking together. Leave to cool well.

Fill the magnum mould halfway with the cream. Add the homemade caramel and caramelised pecans. Top with cream. Don’t forget to add a wooden stick, smooth with an angled spatula to remove any excess and place in the freezer for at least 3 hours.

Dulcey chocolate icing
✔250g Dulcey chocolate
✔25g neutral oil

Melt the Dulcey chocolate with the neutral oil in a narrow container that can still hold the magnum.

What is Dulcey? Blond chocolate, otherwise known as Dulcey chocolate, is made from caramelised white chocolate.

–> So here I used white chocolate that I placed in an ovenproof dish with a little neutral oil and I baked it at 120°C, stirring it regularly until it coloured.

Unmould your magnums. When the chocolate is below 35°C, dip the frozen magnum into the chocolate.

Return to the freezer until ready to eat.
