Recipe Step by Step

01

Almond Streuzel

120g butter
120g high gluten flour
120g brown sugar
120g ground almonds

Dice the butter into small cubes. Sift the dry ingredients together. Add the butter and mix, using the paddle attachment. Small grains form, then the mixture forms an irregular mass. Stop mixing and let the mixture rest in a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Press the paste through a 4 mm sieve or candy grid to obtain regular grains. Store in a refrigerator or freeze until needed. Spread the grains out regularly on a silicone sheet and bake at 150/160°C, damper open, until the streuzel turns a light golden brown. 15 g /verrine
02

Strawberry Marshmallow

300g caster sugar
70g strawberry pulp
105g inverted sugar
28g gelatine
70g strawberry pulp
150g inverted sugar
as required Pink strawberry colouring
as required Icing sugar
as required starch

Weigh the gelatine and add cold water to obtain total weight of 85 g. Cook the inverted sugar with the 300 g of caster sugar and the 70 g of strawberry pulp at 110°C. Pour the cooked sugar syrup into a mixing bowl over the inverted sugar and the remaining 70 g of strawberry pulp. Melt the gelatine in a microwave then pour over the hot sugars and whip until the mixture reaches the ribbon stage. When the marshmallow has cooled and still slightly runny, incorporate the colouring, then, as soon as the mixture has reached 35/40°C, pour into a 10 cm ganache frame placed on a buttered silicone sheet. Smooth with a Pascal spreader (Raplette). Allow to gel for 30 minutes, then sprinkle the surface with a mixture of icing sugar and starch. After the marshmallow has gelled for several hours, cut into 10 x 10 cm cubes with a guitar. Immediately roll the cubes in a candissoire filled with a mixture of icing sugar and starch. 5 à 7 cubes /verrine
03

Whipped Ivoire And Vanilla Ganache

600g whipping cream 35%
60g inverted sugar
60g glucose
200g IVOIRE 35%
70g BEURRE DE CACAO
900g whipping cream 35%
4 vanilla pods

Infuse the vanilla in the 900 g of cold cream overnight. Bring the cream to the boil with the inverted sugar and the glucose. Gradually pour the boiling hot liquid over the melted couverture and cocoa butter, mixing from the centre to create a shiny and elastic core, showing the start of an emulsion. Continue adding the liquid little by little. Mix with a hand held mixer to perfect the emulsion. Sieve the cold vanilla flavoured cream through a chinois and add to the ganache. Mix again to finish. Set aside in a refrigerator and allow to crystallize, if possible, overnight. Whip the mixture to obtain piping consistency. 25 g + 45 g/verrine
