    Roll out the pastry to a thickness of 3 mm, cut it to shape (58 X 9 X 2 cm) and cook it at 170°C for approximately 16 minutes. 

  2. 2

    Panna cotta mousse

    Heat the Sublime Cream with Mascarpone, the sugar, the butter and the vanilla at 50°C. Mix the gelatine with the water, leave it to rest for 10 minutes then pour it into the warm cream. Let the mix cool to 26°C and add the bitter almond and crème fleurette, lightly whipped. Pour the mixture into the mould straightaway.

  3. 3

    Pistachio Joconde

    Mix the eggs, icing sugar, almonds powder, pistachio paste and flour. Add the whipped egg whites stiffened with the granulated sugar, and finally the melted butter. Spread the biscuit on the Silpat, Cook in a fan oven at 200°C (392°F), for 7 to 8 min. Remove from the hot baking tray as soon as it’s baked

    Raspberry gelée with balsamic vinegar of Modena

    Mix the sugar and the pectin together into the cold raspberry purée, with the trimoline, and bring to the boil. Add the crushed raspberries then the vinegar. Pour into half round moulds (Christmas log mould 53,5 X 5,5 X 4 cm) , a Pistachio joconde and freeze.

    Assembly

    Pour the panna cotta mousse into the Half round mould ( 53,5 X 8 X6 cm), then place the frozen fruit filling into mould. Close it with the sablé breton Freeze and remove from the mould. Next mix the white chocolate with the cocoa butter at 40-42°C. Finally, apply the chocolate mixture to the frozen dessert with a spray gun.
