Transparent Opaline

300g fondant
200g glucose

Cook the fondant and glucose to a temperature of 310-320°F (155-160°C). Pour onto a silicone baking sheet and leave to cool. Grind into a fine powder and store in a dry place.

Assembly and finishing

Prepare the whipped ganache and jellies.
Pour the Almond Inspiration jelly into a 1cm thick frame. Place in the refrigerator. Cut out 3 x 4cm triangles. Set aside.
Make the shortcrust and spread it out to a thickness of 2mm. Freeze. Cut out isosceles triangle shapes with a 4cm base and 5cm sides.
Bake and put to one side.
Bake the sponge then store it in the freezer to make it easier to turn out.
Make a template in the shape of an isosceles triangle with a 4cm base and 5cm sides. Use a small pastry spatula to spread the fruit jelly on to
the plate until you have 3 triangles (see photo). Place a triangle of Almond Inspiration jelly onto the fruit jelly triangles.
Whip up the whipped ganache, then use a piping bag with a V cut 25mm nozzle to pipe a teardrop shape onto the shortcrust pastry triangles.
Place 2 triangles on the plate. Put a few SOSA caramelized Cantonese almonds in place.
Finish off with the biscuit pieces and top with a piece of opaline.
