(Silikomart professional Truffles 120 moulds)

sable breton:
stir the egg yolks and the sugar, add the butter and then the other ingredients. Knead a fine dough and put in the fridge for 2 hours. Roll out thinly and take small circles (8 cm) with round baking rings and bake at 180C for about 20min.

pain de genes:
mix the marzipan with the eggs, add the milk, melted butter and the flour with the baking powder. Pour the dough into small half-spheres silicone molds and bake at 170C for about 15min. and leave to cool

chocolate caramel:
heat the sugar and glucose till 185C, add the warm whipped cream, milk, glucose, and heat it till you get a nice creamy caramel, cool it till 70C, add the butter and the dark chocolate. Pour into small half-spheres silicone molds and put it in the freezer

pear fennel mousse:
heat the milk and sugar, add some dried jasmine flowers, cover the pan and let infuse it for 15min. Pour the mixture through a sieve and heat again, add the (pre) soaked gelatin, the pear/fennel puree and butter, leave to cool till 30C. Add the mixed whipped cream and the mascarpone, pour the mousse into the moulds. Take the frozen half-sphere pain de genes and the chocolate caramel, press against each other (so you get a little ball) and push the “ball” a little down in the mousse, and put it in the freezer
