Assembly and finishing
Assembly: Prepare the Whipped Ganache and Crémeux. Prepare the Buckwheat Breton Sablé Biscuit and roll out to a thickness of 7mm. Store in the refrigerator. Bake the Buckwheat Breton Sablé Biscuit at 300°F (150°C) for approx. 25 minutes. As soon as it is out of the oven, cut into 6cm-diameter disks. Store in a dry place. Use a piping bag with a 18mm-diameter nozzle to pipe out 10g of Coffee Crémeux. Freeze for a few minutes. Use a piping bag and a 30mm-diameter cutter to coat each Coffee Crémeux droplet with a droplet of approx. 30g of Whipped Ganache. Freeze.Finishing: Coat the Breton Sablé Biscuit disk with the Limeira Crunchy Glaze. Set aside. Use a spray gun to apply a layer of ABSOLU CRISTAL.
Use a rolling pin to spread out a very thin layer of pre-set LIMEIRA between two sheets of confectionery dipping paper and cut into 6cm disks with pierced centers. Leave to set at 60°F (16°C). Place the decoration on the droplet.
