The recipe,
step by step

  1. 1

    Shortbread dough

    Mix the softened butter with scraped vanilla beans, zests and the salt. Add the flour and egg yolks. Refrigerate, roll out to 3 mm, cut out 8 cm diameter circles, and bake on Silpain® at 160°C. Separate and sprinkle with Mycryo® as soon as they come out of the oven.
  2. 2

    Jasmine tea Trocadero

    Blend the almond powder, icing sugar and starch. Add the ground tea, egg whites (1) and whole eggs. Add the coconut without grinding it. Whip the 75 g egg whites (2) and stiffen with the caster sugar. Fold into the first mixture and mix in the melted butter. Spread 1200 g onto a Silpat®-lined 40x60 baking tray, bake at 165°C for around 15 minutes, cut out 7 cm discs.
  3. 3

    Pink grapefruit and raspberry marmalade

    Muddle the grapefruit segments with the lime juice and the raspberry purée, then add the scraped vanilla pod. Mix the sugar, pectin and xanthan, add to the mixture at 40°C and bring to a boil. Chill and blend before using, pipe 18 g per biscuit with a 6 mm nozzle.
  4. 4

    Lychee crémeux

    Lightly whisk the egg yolks with 2/3 of the caster sugar until slightly pale. Heat the purée, cream and milk, then add the egg yolks. At 80°C, add the remaining sugar mixed with the pectin and the xanthan. Blend and add the Soho®, pour into the moulds, 8 g for the small ones, 25 g for the large ones.
  5. 5

    Jasmine tea cream

    Heat the cream (1), add the 11 g of jasmine tea and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain the cream and add more cream as necessary to make it up to the original weight of the cream. Cook the cream with the egg yolks, sugar, and tea powder at 85°C. Pour over the dissolved gelatine and cool to 30°C. Add the whipped cream (2), then pipe out 40 g into 8 cm Silikomart® bars.
  6. 6

    White glaze

    Dissolve the starch and colouring in a little whipping cream, then boil the rest of the cream with the condensed milk. Add the caster sugar, stir in the starch and thicken. Add the dissolved gelatine and pour over the couverture. Blend in a food processor, colour with a few drops of colouring to keep it a pastel shade and chill. Use at 23°C.
  7. 7

    Pink spray sauce

    Melt all the ingredients together at 40°C.
  8. 8

    Pink chocolate

    Melt all the ingredients together at 40°C.

  10. 10
