Assembly and finishing
Step-by-step guide:
Make the confit and the praliné crémeux and set them aside.
To make the sponge, pour 110g into 14cm rings and sprinkle with 20g of roasted chopped hazelnuts.
Bake at 300°F (150°C) for approx. 15 minutes. Using a piping bag without a nozzle, pipe 110g of crémeux onto the sponge once it has cooled, then freeze
the assembly. Place 90g of confit on the crémeux and freeze again.
Make the light mousse, divide it into two portions, and add the turmeric (10g) to one half.
Stir the two mousses together to give them a marbled look, place 220g of mousse in the ring, and put the insert in place, then freeze.
Turn out the dessert and spray it with a coating of Absolu neutral glaze.
Decoration:
Sprinkle some turmeric onto a guitar sheet and make a random shape of tempered white couverture on top of it.
Place a second guitar sheet on top, press down with a flattener and place it in a U-shaped mold so it curves.
Place 3 decorations and a few halved hazelnuts on the dessert.
