The recipe

Pour 4 personnes

Walnut biscuit (the day before)
✔65 g walnut powder
✔1 egg
✔2 egg whites or about 100g
✔65g icing sugar
✔20g butter
✔15 g flour
✔15 g caster sugar

In a mixing bowl, add the nut powder (just finely blend some nuts), icing sugar and whole egg. Mix. Add the sifted flour, the melted butter. Mix well. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the powdered sugar. Incorporate a third of the egg whites and mix to loosen the mixture, then gently fold the rest into the mixture with a pastry blender. Pour the biscuit dough onto a baking tray covered with baking paper and smooth out the dough. Bake the biscuit for 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C.

Remove the biscuit from the oven and allow it to cool before peeling it off the paper and cutting out two squares using your pastry frame.

Place the first walnut biscuit in the bottom of your frame. Brush the biscuit with syrup or the juice from the pears in syrup.

Walnut Praline
✔100g nuts
✔50g caster sugar

Roast the nuts on a baking tray for 15 minutes in the oven at 150°C. Make a caramel with the sugar and pour onto baking paper. When it has cooled, break it into pieces and put it in the bowl of a blender. Add the nuts and blend until you have a praline. Be careful, you need a good blender.

White chocolate and nut praline crisp (the day before)
✔50g walnut praline
✔25g white chocolate
✔10g crêpes dentelles

In a bowl, pour the praline, the previously melted white chocolate and add the crumbled crêpes dentelles. Mix gently. Roll out the crêpes dentelles between two sheets of greaseproof paper into a square the size of your frame (15X15cm for me). Place in the freezer for a few minutes. Cut the crisp to the size of your frame.

Pear mousse
✔2 sheets gelatine (3g)
✔120g pear puree
✔100g cold liquid cream
✔15g icing sugar
✔1 half a pear cut into small cubes

Soften the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water. Heat the pear puree in a saucepan. For the pear puree, you can either use pears in syrup, without adding sugar as they are already sweet, or you can cook the pears in a syrup (water, sugar, liquid vanilla) and then blend them. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, wrung out and softened, stirring well. Set aside. Whip the cold cream with a mixer, adding the icing sugar. Add the warmed pear puree and mix gently. I added a few diced pears. Pour over the crisp. Add the second walnut biscuit. Put back in the freezer.

Walnut mousse (the day before)
✔1 yolk
✔10g sugar
✔40g milk
✔3g gelatine
✔50g praline nut
✔100g cold liquid cream

Soften the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water. Heat, in a small saucepan, the 40g of milk. Mix the egg yolk and caster sugar in a bowl. Pour in the hot milk. Mix well and return to the pan. While stirring, heat until it reaches 82 to 83°C. . Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, well wrung out and previously softened, and the nut praline. Mix well. Set aside. Whip the cold cream (100g) with an electric mixer. Gently add the previous mixture with a spatula.

Pour over the second walnut biscuit, leaving 2 to 3 mm free if possible to apply the pear jelly. Place in the freezer overnight or for at least 6 hours.

Pear jelly
✔3g gelatine
✔150g pears
✔10g water

Soften the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water. Heat the pear puree with the water in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and add the wrung out and softened gelatine, stirring well. Allow to cool slightly and pour over the still frozen cake. Place in a cool place until the jelly sets.

Serve the cake as a whole (it takes at least 4 to 5 hours in the fridge for the cake to thaw completely) or cut out individual slices with a knife, removing 0.5mm from each side beforehand to have well defined slices.

I decorated the cake with caramelised walnuts (melt some powdered sugar in a small pan to make a caramel and dip the walnuts in it, collect them with a fork and place them on a sheet of baking paper to cool), to be placed at the last moment, just before serving.

✔60g milk
✔70g flour
✔55g butter
✔Salt
✔1 teaspoon sugar
✔2 or 3 eggs (depending on size)

In a saucepan heat the water, milk, butter, salt and sugar.
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 then add the beaten eggs, gradually, mixing well between each addition.
Poach the choux in the tartlet circles, having first placed a micro-perforated strip inside on a baking tray covered with a micro-perforated baking mat, not exceeding one third of the height. Place a second micro-perforated mat on top and add weight to it. Bake in the oven at 180°C for 45 minutes (time may vary depending on the oven). Allow to cool well and then carefully remove the circles and strips. If necessary, file the edges for a nicer finish. Make two holes under each puff. Set aside.

Hazelnut praline
✔100g hazelnuts
✔50g powdered sugar

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. When the caramel has a nice colour, pour it onto a sheet of baking paper and leave to cool. Place the hazelnuts (having rubbed them to remove the skin) and the cooled caramel, cut into pieces, in the bowl of a blender and blend until you obtain the hazelnut praline. You will have some praline left over for other recipes.

Chocolate and hazelnut praline cream
✔1 yellow
✔15g sugar
✔20g hazelnut praline
✔40g liquid cream
✔10g milk chocolate
✔1g gelatine

In a bowl, mix the egg yolk with the sugar until slightly white. In a saucepan, bring 40g of cream to the boil, remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the previous mixture. Return to the pan and cook over a low heat until 82ºC. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine. Pour the hot cream over the hazelnut praline and mix. Allow to cool slightly, then pour into the Silikomart oval X9 cavity insert mould (approx. 20g per cavity) and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour.

Put a spoonful of praline in each cavity and put back in the freezer for at least 3 hours.

Hazelnut biscuit
✔32g hazelnut powder
✔1 egg
✔1 egg white
✔32g icing sugar
✔10 g butter
✔7 g flour

Make a hazelnut butter. In a saucepan, melt the butter until it takes on a nice colour and a hazelnut 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 covered with baking paper. Bake the biscuit for 10 minutes at 170°C. Remove the biscuit from the oven and allow it to cool before peeling it off the paper and cutting it into circles. Place the biscuits on top of your hazelnut cream and return to the freezer.

Chocolate praline crisp
30g milk chocolate
60g hazelnut praline
30g of crêpes dentelles

Mix all the ingredients together. Spread between two sheets of greaseproof paper and place in the freezer for a few minutes before cutting them into the shape of your mould. Return to the freezer.

Vanilla mousse
✔5g gelatine
✔130g of liquid cream
✔130g white chocolate
✔Vanilla pod or vanilla powder
✔130g of liquid cream 30% MG min

In a bowl of cold water, place the gelatine leaves. In a saucepan, heat the 130g of liquid cream with the vanilla pod that you will have previously split in half and scraped out. Turn off the heat, cover the pan and leave to infuse for 15 minutes. Return the mixture to the heat and, off the heat, add the gelatine (remove the vanilla pod). Pour over the melted white chocolate, mix and set aside. Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer. Pour over the warm mixture and stir gently.

Assembly

First make a chocolate shell. Melt 90g of milk chocolate in the microwave and pour into the 4 cavities. Tilt the mould in all directions so that the chocolate is evenly distributed, then invert the mould to remove the excess. Place in a cool place until the chocolate has set.

Fill the Silikomart half-egg mould with vanilla mousse halfway up the sides. Add the praline insert. Complete with the mousse and finish with the biscuit and finally the praline crunch. Place in the freezer overnight.

The next day, remove the frozen desserts from the moulds, wipe off the frosting on the chocolate shells with a paper towel and immediately apply the brown velvet spray. Melt a little milk chocolate, fill a piping bag with it and pipe quick lines onto the eggs. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

2g gelatine

Assembly and decoration

Strawberries

The recipe

For about 4 to 6 people

The sponge cake
3 eggs
80 g sugar
40 g flour
40 g cornflour

Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl, place in a bain-marie and whisk until 55°C. Pour into the bowl of a food processor and whisk until completely cool. The mixture will double in volume. Sift in the flour and cornflour. Stir gently. Bake in a preheated oven at 210°C, then immediately lower the temperature to 190°C for 12 to 15 minutes. After cooling, cut out circles smaller than your pastry circles

The mousseline cream
360 g milk
70 g sugar
3 egg yolks
15 g flour
120 g butter
15 g cornstarch
liquid vanilla or better vanilla bean
120 g butter

Heat the milk and vanilla. In a bowl, mix the yolks, sugar, flour and cornflour. Pour in the hot milk, stir and return to the pan. Mix until the cream thickens. Remove from the heat, add 120g of butter cut into cubes and blend. Strain and leave the cream to cool. In the bowl of a food processor, whip the remaining 120g of butter into a creamy consistency. Then add the mousseline cream, which has cooled to room temperature.

Assembly
Place a 18cm diameter pastry ring on your plate. Place a rhodoïd film around it. Place the smallest sponge cake at the bottom. Soak it in a sugar syrup with rum or kirsch. Poach the mousseline cream, a few strawberries cut into pieces, some cream, the second sponge cake soaked in syrup and then finish off with a little cream. Smooth with an angled spatula and set aside in the fridge for at least 4 hours to allow the butter to harden and give your strawberry cake some hold.

I added rhodoïd film all around my cake to be able to pour the jelly.

The jelly
120g mixed strawberries
20g powdered sugar
2g gelatine

Mix 120g of strawberries and strain to remove the seeds. Pour the strawberries into a saucepan with 20g caster sugar. Put on the heat. Remove from the heat and add 1 sheet of 2g gelatine, previously softened in a bowl of cold water and wrung out. I added a drop of red colouring because the strawberry loses its colour when heated. Mix and let cool before pouring over your cake. Place in a cool place until the jelly sets.

Decorate with strawberries and chocolate eggs. I also made little feathers out of white chocolate.

Remember to remove the rhodoid film before serving your cake.

Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, stirring well. Pour this hot custard over the chocolate, stirring with a whisk until melted. Set aside. Whip the cold cream with a mixer and add it to the custard in two or three batches, mixing gently with a spatula each time.

Assembly

Fill the Silikomart Secret mould halfway up the sides. Add the insert. Top up with the mousse and finish with the chocolate praline crisp. Place in the freezer overnight.

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

Add hazelnut praline to the bottom of each cake.

To make the nest, I placed several baking sheets or slates in the freezer the day before. I melted some chocolate in the microwave and filled a piping bag with it. Take the cold baking sheet out of the freezer and poach the chocolate in a spiral and then very quickly, as it hardens quickly, gather the chocolate to form the nest. As soon as your plate heats up a little too much, change the plate.

I decorated with a little gold leaf and a little feather made of white chocolate.

Fill the Silikomart 12-egg mould with the mousse halfway up. Add the praline insert. Top with a little mousse and finish with the hazelnut biscuit. Place in the freezer overnight or at least 6 hours.

The next day, remove the desserts from the Silikomart Secret mould and immediately apply the brown velvet spray. Add a spoonful of praline to each hollow.

Melt white chocolate with a few drops of milk chocolate to colour it slightly. Place the chocolate in a tall, narrow container. Remove the egg dishes from the freezer. Using a wooden pick, quickly dip each egg into the chocolate and scrape the underside over the rim of your container to remove any excess. Place on a piece of baking paper until the chocolate sets. Carefully remove the wooden pick. Place your egg in the hollow of your entremet on top of the praline.

Add a small gold leaf on top to cover the hole in the wooden spike. Place in a cool place for at least 2 hours.

The recipe

Serves 5 to 6

Pistachio biscuit
✔65 g pistachio powder
✔1 egg
✔100g egg white
✔65 g icing sugar
✔15 g flour
✔15 g caster sugar

In a bowl, add the pistachio powder, icing sugar and whole egg. Mix well. Add the sifted flour. Mix well. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the powdered sugar. Incorporate a third of the egg whites and mix to loosen the mixture, then gently fold the rest into the mixture with a pastry blender. Pour the biscuit dough onto a baking tray covered with baking paper and smooth out the dough. Bake the biscuit for 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C.

Remove the biscuit from the oven and allow it to cool before peeling it off the paper and cutting out two rectangles measuring 20X11cm.

Pistachio Crisp
✔30g white chocolate
✔60g pistachio praline
✔30g of crêpes dentelles

In a bowl, pour the praline, the previously melted white chocolate and add the crumbled crêpes dentelles. Mix gently. Roll out the crêpes dentelles between two sheets of greaseproof paper into a rectangle the size of your frame (20X11cm for me). Place in the freezer for a few minutes. Cut the crisp to the size of your frame and place it on the bottom of your frame. Place the first pistachio biscuit on top and return to the freezer.

Pistachio cream
✔150g cream
✔50g sugar
✔2 egg yolks
✔80g pistachio praline
✔3g gelatine

In a bowl, mix the egg yolk with the sugar until slightly white. In a saucepan, bring 150ml of cream to the boil, remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the previous mixture. Return to the saucepan and cook over a low heat until 82ºC. Remove from the heat and add the wrung-out gelatine. Pour the hot cream over the pistachio praline and mix. If necessary you can blend the mixture a little so that it is smooth. Leave to cool slightly, then pour over the crumble and place in the freezer for a few minutes before placing the second pistachio biscuit.

Strawberry mousse (the day before)
✔150g strawberries
✔4g gelatine
✔110g liquid cream
✔30g caster sugar

Heat, in a small saucepan, the mixed strawberries. Add, off the heat, the gelatine, well wrung out and previously softened in a bowl of cold water. Set aside. Whip the cold cream (110g) with the powdered sugar using an electric mixer. Using a spatula, gently add the previous mixture.

Pour over the second biscuit, leaving 2 to 3 mm free to apply the jelly. Place in the freezer overnight or at least 6 hours.

Strawberry jelly
✔100g mixed strawberries without seeds
✔3g gelatine
✔20g caster sugar

Place the gelatine sheets in a large bowl of cold water. In a saucepan, heat the sugar and the mixed strawberries previously strained to remove the seeds. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, wrung out and softened. Mix and let cool a little before pouring over your frozen cake. Place your cake in the fridge for at least 4 to 5 hours. You can serve it whole or cut it into individual pieces.

I decorated with a few unsalted pistachios and a white chocolate decoration made with chocolate transfer sheet.

35g roasted 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 colour and a hazelnut 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 10 to 12 minutes at 170°C. Remove the biscuit from the oven and allow it to cool before cutting it out with the cookie cutter supplied with the Silikomart mould.

Milk chocolate crisp (the day before)
20g milk chocolate
40g hazelnut praline
20g of crêpes dentelles

Mix all the ingredients together. Spread on the biscuits and place in the freezer.

Orange mousse (the day before)
✔120g orange juice
✔1 egg
✔75g sugar
✔10g cornflour
✔150g liquid cream 30% MG
✔5g gelatine

Place the gelatine in a large bowl of cold water.
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, powdered sugar and cornstarch. Pour the orange juice into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the previous mixture. Heat over low/medium heat, stirring constantly until the cream thickens. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine. Set aside. In a salad bowl, whip the cold liquid cream and gently fold in the cooled mixture using a spatula.

Assembly

Fill the Silikomart cylinder mould 3/4 of the way with the orange mousse, making sure that it reaches all the edges. Add the hazelnut biscuit, crisp side in. Place in the freezer overnight.

Sweet dough
✔70g flour
✔10g icing sugar
✔40g butter
✔1 egg yolk
✔1 pinch of salt
✔1 zest of an orange

Mix all the ingredients together, roll out and put in the fridge. Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper with a rolling pin, then detail it with the cutter provided. Bake at 180°C between two micro perforated mats. Keep an eye on the baking process and take them out as soon as they colour.

Remove the desserts from the freezer, unmould and immediately apply the orange velvet spray. Then place each dessert on a sweet pastry biscuit. I decorated with a dark chocolate wedge.
