  1. 1

    Seed biscuits

    • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, soften the butter, then incorporate the sugar and ground almonds, followed by the room-temperature eggs.
    • Add the flours and seeds, taking care not to overwork the mixture.
    • Spread 2 cm thick between two guitar sheets placed on a baking sheet.
    • Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
    • Cut out two ∅8 cm discs and bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 165°C.
  2. 2

    Cream cheese mousse

    • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed for less than one minute.
    • Add the cold milk and inverted sugar.
    • Then, add the gelatine mass, which should be heated up in advance.
    • Once the mixture is smooth, fold in the whipped cream.
    • Pipe the mousse into ∅7.5 cm x 1 cm high round moulds.
    • Blast chill at a negative temperature.

    • Pour into 2 cm hemispherical moulds and place in the freezer.

    Cream cheese namelaka

    • Bring the milk and glucose syrup to the boil, then add the gelatine mass and mix well.
    • Melt the white chocolate to 40°C.
    • Using a mixer, blend the liquid mixture with the chocolate, adding a third at a time.
    • When it becomes shiny, add the cold cream and the cream cheese.
    • Emulsify the mixture well, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

    Assembly

    • Spread the mousse over the biscuits.
