Recipe Step by Step

01

SLICED PAIN D’ÉPICES

10g Lemon zest
10g Lime zest
10g Orange zest
8g Aniseed
3g Pain d’épices spices
2g Salt
300g Wildflower honey
300g Mineral water
135g Sugar
8g Tahiti vanilla bean
300g Pastry flour
20g Baking soda
1g Baking powder
190g European-style butter
1297G TOTAL

Use a knife to carefully cut away the citrus zest.
Bring to a boil the aniseed, spices, salt, citrus zests, wildflower honey, water, sugar and scratched Tahiti vanilla bean.
Cover with plastic wrap and leave to infuse for 1 hour. Strain the infusion.
At 105°F (40°C), use a whisk to help you incorporate the infusion into the flour sifted together with the baking soda and baking powder. Incorporate the melted butter at 175°F (80°C).
Leave the dough to rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Put 550g into each mold (MATFER ref.345833), lined in advance with parchment paper.
Bake at 310°F (155°C) for 50 minutes. Turn out the pain d’épices and set it aside in the freezer.
Once it is frozen, cut the pain d’épices lengthwise into 3.5mm-thick slices using a slicing machine. Cut some 7mm-thick slices too.
To make 2 desserts, you need four 3.5mm slices and one 7mm slice.
Put the 3.5mm slices in silicone molds (SILFORM ref.004.030), then dry them in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for 15 minutes and store in a hot cupboard.
Cut the 7mm slices into 2 × 16cm rectangles, then set them aside in the refrigerator.

Carefully weigh all the ingredients.
Incorporate the combined stabilizer mixed with a portion of the sugar you used initially (approx. 10%).

Immediately mix using an immersion blender to make a perfect emulsion.
Gradually add the remaining liquid. Mix with an immersion blender.
Pasteurize at 185°F (85°C) for 2 minutes then pour into a PacoJet bowl and freeze.
