Recipe Step by Step

Step01

Almond Streusel

125g sugar
6g salt
225g almond (flour)
57g almonds (chopped)
75g all-purpose flour
100g butter (melted)

Combine all the dry ingredients into a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. On slow speed, add the melted butter and mix until an oatmeal consistency is achieved.

Bake on a lined sheet pan at 149°C (300°F), until well toasted. Redistribute during baking as needed.

Step02

Almond Inspiration Mousse

945g ALMOND INSPIRATION
50g Sugar
255g whipping cream
180g egg yolks
4ea gold gelatin sheets (bloomed)
950g whipping cream

Melt the ALMOND INSPIRATION to 45°C (113°F).



Create a custard with the sugar, cream, and the milk - be sure to cook to a minimum of 78°C (167°F) to reach a nappe.



Add the bloomed gelatin to the custard.



Strain the custard and emulsify into the melted ALMOND INSPIRATION.



Whip the second amount of cream to full volume.



Taking care to maintain a ganache temperature of 36-38°C (97-100°F), gently fold the cream into the ganache in multiple stages. Try to maintain as much volume as possible.



Pour onto a silpat lined half sheet pan and blast freeze to -40°C (-40°F).



Once hard and brittle, break the mousse into random shards prior to finishing with Amande spray.



Keep frozen until ready for service at which point the mousse should be kept refrigerated.
