The recipe

For 4 apples

Apple insert (the day before)
✔150g applesauce
✔50g granny apples cut into very small cubes, diced
✔20g caster sugar
✔Vanilla powder
✔2g NH pectin
In a saucepan, pour and heat the applesauce. Mix in a small bowl, the caster sugar and pectin. As soon as it boils, pour this mixture into the applesauce and cook without stopping to stir for 2 minutes. Add the diced granny apples and mix. Place in the silikomart X15 half-sphere mould and freeze for at least 3 hours.

Hazelnut biscuit (the day before)
✔10g butter
✔35g hazelnut powder
✔35g icing sugar
✔7g flour
✔25g egg
✔1 egg white
✔10g caster sugar

Make a hazelnut butter. In a saucepan, melt the butter until it takes on a nice nutty colour and smell. Set aside. In a bowl, mix the whole egg with the icing sugar. Add the hazelnut powder, flour and melted butter. Mix well. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the powdered sugar. Gently fold them into the mixture with a spatula. Pour the biscuit dough onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake the biscuit for 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C. Remove the biscuit from the oven and allow it to cool before cutting it out with a round cookie cutter to fit the diameter of your silicone mould opening.

Vanilla Bavaroise
✔150g milk
✔30g sugar
✔2 egg yolks
✔2 sheets of gelatine
✔1 vanilla pod or vanilla powder
✔150g minimum 30% fat liquid cream

In a large bowl of cold water, place the gelatine leaves. In a saucepan, heat the milk with the vanilla. In a bowl, mix the yolks with the caster sugar. Pour the hot milk over this mixture. Mix and return to the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 82/83°C. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, wrung out and softened. Strain and leave to cool to room temperature. Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer. Mix in the cooled cream and stir gently.

Assembly
Turn out the apple half-spheres and stick them together to form a sphere. Put back in the freezer. Pour the vanilla mousse into the Silikomart mould. Add the apple insert and finish with the hazelnut biscuit. Place in the freezer overnight.

Mirror glaze
✔45 g sugar
✔45 g glucose
✔25 g water
✔50 g white chocolate
✔30 g unsweetened condensed milk or cream
✔2 x 2g gelatine leaves
✔green colouring

In a saucepan, heat the sugar, water and glucose to 110°C. Off the heat, add the wrung out and softened gelatine. Pour this mixture over the melted chocolate. Stir well. Add the condensed milk and colouring. Use a hand blender to mix the mixture thoroughly. If necessary, filter the mixture to remove any air bubbles. Take out the frozen mousse (I used a peeler to scoop out the top of the apple) and immediately cover the surface with the glaze which has been cooled to 35°C.

I decorated them with chocolate tails and a mint leaf.

Swiss Brioche

Swiss striated brioche made of

– croissant dough,
– pastry cream,
– chocolate chips.

Materials used

– Angled spatula

– Brush

– Micro perforated baking mat

Ingredients

The croissant dough
✔300g flour
✔45g sugar
✔6 g salt
✔15 g baker’s yeast
✔140 g milk
✔60 g butter cut into pieces at room temperature

+ 150 g of tourage butter

The pastry cream
✔250g milk
✔60g sugar
✔3 egg yolks
✔25 g cream powder
✔25g butter
✔Vanilla liquid

The syrup
✔30g water
✔30g sugar

The recipe

The croissant dough
✔300g flour
✔45 g sugar
✔6 g salt
✔15 g baker’s yeast
✔140 g milk
✔60 g butter cut into pieces at room temperature
+ 150 g of tourage butter

In the bowl of the food processor, add the flour, sugar, salt, yeast and milk, then the butter. Knead the dough for about ten minutes. Form a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and leave to rise for 45 minutes at room temperature.

Deaerate the dough and flatten it with your hands to form a rectangle. Place the rectangle in the fridge to firm up.

Soften the 150g of butter and form a rectangle (1/2 the size of the dough) by placing it inside a piece of greaseproof paper to form a perfect square.

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle and place the butter in the middle. Cover the two ends of the dough without overlapping. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough into a long rectangle and make a single turn. Fold the right side towards the centre and then the left side. Place in a cool place, covered with film. The next day, cut the dough in half.

Roll out the first pastry to a length of 30cm and freeze, wrapped in film, for 15 minutes. With a sharp knife, cut 3mm strips by 30cm long. Roll out the second pastry very thinly and brush lightly with water. Trim the edges if necessary to make a nice rectangle. Place the puff pastry strips face up on top.

Leave to rest again, filmed, for a few minutes in the freezer for the dough to firm up.

Roll out the dough a little to make it longer. Trim the edges if necessary to make a nice rectangle. Turn the dough out onto a piece of greaseproof paper. Set aside for a few minutes in the freezer, covered with film.

The pastry cream
✔250g milk
✔60g sugar
✔3 egg yolks
✔25 g cream powder
✔25g butter
✔Liquid vanilla

In a saucepan, boil the milk with a little liquid vanilla. In a bowl, mix the yolks with the caster sugar. Then add the cream powder. Pour the hot milk over this mixture and return it to the pan. Cook until it boils, stirring constantly. The cream will thicken. Remove from the heat, add the butter cut into pieces. Blend. Strain and leave to cool in a cool place.

Spread the custard on the pastry rectangle. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the surface.

Fold one side (1/4) towards the middle and then the other side.

Place back in the freezer for a few minutes and turn the dough over. Cut out every 3 to 4 centimetres and place on a baking tray covered with baking paper.

Leave to rise for 1h30 to 2 hours at room temperature (e.g. with the oven closed and turned off). Place in a cool place for 10 minutes to firm up a little and brush with egg yolk.

Bake at 170°C for 30 minutes.

The syrup
✔30g water
✔30g sugar

Heat the sugar and water to boiling in a saucepan. Apply hot to the Swiss breads as soon as they come out of the oven with a brush. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Place the hazelnuts on a baking tray and bake at 150°C for 15 minutes. In a saucepan, pour the caster sugar and make a caramel. Pour onto a sheet of baking paper and leave to cool. Place the hazelnuts, without their skins, and the caramel cut into pieces in the bowl of a blender and blend until you have a praline.

Hazelnut ganache
100g of liquid cream
100g white chocolate
50g hazelnut praline
100g of cold liquid cream

In a saucepan, pour and heat the 100g of liquid cream. In a bowl, pour the white chocolate and melt it a little in the microwave. Gradually pour the hot cream over the white chocolate while stirring to obtain a smooth mixture. Add the 50g of hazelnut praline and stir again. Finally, add the 100g of cold liquid cream. Mix, wrap and chill for at least 4 hours.

Pears in syrup
4 pears
Powdered sugar
Liquid vanilla

Peel the pears and remove the middle of the pear with a peeler. Cook the pears in a pan of water with caster sugar and liquid vanilla for 1.5 to 2 hours. Drain the pears, leave to cool slightly and then place in the fridge until assembly.

Hazelnut cracker
40g butter
20g flour
20g hazelnut powder
40g brown sugar

Mix all the ingredients, spread between two sheets of paper, place in the freezer for a few minutes and then cut out circles the size of your choux.

Choux pastry
60g water
60g milk
70g flour
55g butter
salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 or 3 eggs (depending on size)

Heat the water, milk, butter, salt and sugar in a saucepan.
Add the flour all at once and mix well to dry out the dough for 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the beaten eggs gradually, mixing well between each addition.
Poach the choux on a baking tray covered with a micro perforated baking mat, leaving some choux pastry. Bake at 180°C for 40 to 45 minutes (time may vary depending on the oven). Leave to cool on a wire rack. Make a hole under each choux.

Assembly
Take the hazelnut ganache from the fridge and beat it with an electric mixer. Fill a piping bag with it and fill the choux. I used about 50 g of ganache per choux. Cut out the base of the pear and insert homemade praline into the centre of the pear. Place the pear on the choux. Use the remaining hazelnut ganache to decorate your pear.

I added hazelnuts cut in half and small gold leaves.

Use a hand blender to blend the mixture. If there are too many air bubbles, you can strain the mixture. Remove the cake from the freezer. Stick a wooden spike underneath. Tilt the chestnut so that no icing is applied to the white chocolate. Cover the surface of the cake with the glaze, which has been reduced to 35/36°C. Place it on a rack and then proceed to glaze the other cakes. Then place them in the fridge for at least 2 to 3 hours to defrost.
