Instructions
Raspberry Confit (Insert)
Bloom gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes.
In a saucepan, heat all ingredients except gelatin until boiling.
Remove from heat, add drained gelatin, and blend with immersion blender.
Pour into the Savarin mold and freeze for at least 6 hours.
Pistachio Dacquoise
Whip egg whites until frothy. Gradually add sugar to form a French meringue.
Gently fold in the sifted pistachio powder, powdered sugar, and cornstarch.
Spread on a Silpat-lined tray to 1 cm thickness.
Dust surface with powdered sugar and bake at 180ยฐC (fan) for 12โ15 minutes.
Once cooled, cut a 16 cm disc and set aside.
Pistachio Crunch
Melt white chocolate gently.
Stir in pistachio paste, fleur de sel, muesli, and crรชpe dentelle.
Mix well using a spatula.
Spread over the pistachio dacquoise, then cut out the center using a round cutter.
Chill until ready to use.
White Chocolate Pistachio Mousse
Bloom gelatin in cold water.
Heat 115 g of cream (Part 1) and pour over white chocolate and pistachio paste in three additions. Stir to emulsify.
Add the gelatin, blend well, and cool the ganache to 20โ25ยฐC.
Whip the remaining 250 g of cream (Part 2) to soft peaks and gently fold into the ganache.
Assembly
Unmold the raspberry confit insert.
In the clean Savarin mold, pour a layer of pistachio mousse.
Gently place the frozen confit insert into the center, pressing lightly.
Add more mousse and finish by placing the pistachio dacquoise (crunch-side down) on top.
Make sure the center has been cut out to match the mold.
Smooth the top and freeze at least 6 hours.
Optional: pour excess mousse into small silicone half-sphere molds (3 cm diameter), freeze, then join pairs to form decorative spheres.
Red Mirror Glaze
Bloom gelatin in cold water.
Heat water, sugar, and glucose to 103ยฐC.
Pour over sweetened condensed milk, then add gelatin and chopped chocolate.
Add red food coloring and blend with an immersion blender.
Refrigerate at least 6 hours.
Reheat to 30โ35ยฐC before use. Blend again to smooth.
Mini Meringues
Whip egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gradually add sugar and whip until stiff.
Fold in sifted powdered sugar.
Pipe small meringues with an 8 mm plain tip on a Silpat mat.
Bake at 100ยฐC for 1 hour. Cool and store airtight.
Final Decoration
Temper 150 g white chocolate and tint with red cocoa butter coloring.
Create decorations (14 cm ring with a 10 cm inner hole, 4 cm discs) using acetate or guitar sheets for shine.
Glaze the frozen entremets by pouring mirror glaze at 30โ35ยฐC.
Glaze frozen spheres by dipping them on toothpicks and placing on the entremets.
