The recipe, step by step
1
Craquelin
In a mixer fitted with a flat beater, mix together the softened butter with the
brown sugar and the sifted flour until it comes together to form a dough.
Roll out between two clear plastic sheets, freeze then cut out circles that
are 5.5 cm in diameter.

Choux pastry
~In a saucepan, bring the water, milk, sugar, salt and butter to the boil for 1
minute. Off the heat, add the flour then mix and dry-out on the hob for a
few seconds. In a mixer fitted with a flat beater, add the eggs gradually until
it forms a smooth dough. Pipe circles approx. 5 cm in diameter. Place the
cracker, which has been cut out and frozen in advance, on top.
TO COOK (damper open)
Pre-heat the oven to 250°C (235.4°F) with a black baking sheet already
inside and, when ready to place in the oven, take the sheet out and slide
the choux pastries on top (to imitate cooking in a deck oven).
Turn off the oven and cook for 15 minutes then turn it back on and finish
cooking for 15 minutes at 170°C (338°F).

Cut out circles 3-cm in diameter. Temper the chocolate and between two
plastic sheets, using a cutter,
Cut out one 5 cm disc and one 6 cm for each choux puff. They should be
as thin as possible.

~Cut the base off each choux puff and turn it over. Place some streusel in the
bottom then fill with a little ganache.
Push in the sponge soaked in passion fruit purée and smooth over the top.
Put the 6 cm chocolate disc on top, place the jelly in the centre and make
a nice ball of ganache on the top. Place 6 or 7 raspberries that have been
cut in half on the tower (cut side should be visible).
Place the second 5 cm disc on the top of the raspberries and top with
another ball of ganache.
