Remove the discs from the plastic sheets and pipe with wavy lines of tempered couverture. Leave to set.
Assembly and finishing
Cut the Sacher cake into 14 cm discs. Place some pear confit on the cake, leaving a space at the center of the cake disk to facilitate cutting the entremets.
Blast freeze.
Pour the light praliné mousse onto the pear confit and briefly blast freeze.
Prepare some assembly rings with strips of plastic and then put in the blast freezer to freeze the rings. As soon as the praliné supreme is ready, unmold and place the inserts in the center of the 16 cm rings. Pour the supreme up to the level of the rings and blast freeze. After a few minutes, top up the entremets if necessary with the remaining supreme.
Unmold the entremets and glaze with the praliné glaze at 32-34°C.
