130g confectioner's sugar
45g almond flour
3g fine salt
175g butter
70g eggs

Mix the dry ingredients with the very cold, cubed butter until it resembles crumbs.



As soon as the butter has been completely incorporated, add the cold eggs. Mix briefly.

Bake at 150°C (300°F) until golden.

Step04

COFFEE CAKE MIX

75g invert sugar
15g espresso
3g instant coffee
160g clarified butter
80g sugar
40g almond flour
30g eggs
50g egg yolks
145g bread flour
2g baking powder
95g egg whites
40g sugar
20g potato starch

Mix the invert sugar, espresso and instant coffee in an immersion blender for a coffee-flavored mixture.



Mix the creamed butter, sugar, coffee mixture, almond flour, eggs, egg yolks and the flour (sifted with the baking powder in advance). Note: You must use the butter cold to obtain an ideal texture.



At the same time, beat the egg whites with the sugar.



Then combine the two mixtures while gradually adding the potato starch.



Bake in a frame in a convection oven at 150°C (300°F) for approx. 20 minutes.

Step05

COFFEE SYRUP

335g espresso
165g sugar

Use the coffee and sugar to make a syrup, then set aside.

Assembly and finishing

Use the tempered BAHIBÉ 46% couverture to mold Classic Ornament halves (Ref. 12435). Use a fluted cutter to pierce each side of the half-ornaments. Spread out the Shortbread Mixture (to a thickness of approx. 2.5mm) then cut out strips of 2 x 18cm. Store in the freezer. Use the Shortbread to line 5.5cm rings. Bake the Shortbread circles for approx. 15 minutes at 150°C (300°F) on a micro-perforated baking mat. Store in a dry place. Cut up the Coffee Cake into cubes then soak them in the Coffee Syrup for a few minutes. Melt a portion of the Namelaka so that you can drizzle some onto the plate. Put the Shortbread ring in place and fill it with 40g of Namelaka. Put the half-ornament in place. Make a 30g droplet of Namelaka inside the molded half-ornament. Put 5 cubes of Coffee Cake in place and add a quenelle of Coffee Bean Ice Cream. Finish off with a square of gold leaf.
