300g BEURRE DE CACAO
2 vanilla pods

Assembly and finishing
Fill 32mm diameter spherical molds (Silikomart Ref: SF172) or two half-spheres with 12g of yogurt mousse. Use a piping bag without a nozzle to place about 5g of gel in the center, then freeze. Take out of the mold, then use a toothpick to coat with a fine layer of spray gun mixture.
Ice with the yogurt frosting at approx. 95°F (35°C).
Make a strip of yogurt frosting with a brush and immediately stick on the shortbread clusters.
Put 2 spheres and 2 chocolate disks in place (see photo).
Finish with a few droplets of gel and a scoop of sorbet.Restaurant tips : The shortbread clusters are a good way of using up shortbread offcuts. When you coat them in chocolate, they don’t go spongy.
When used with a stabilizer and a Pacojet, the quenelles of sorbet in this recipe won’t melt as quickly.
