Assembly and finishing
Spread 600g of sponge mixture onto a tray and sprinkle with vanilla powder. Bake in a convection oven at 445°F (230°C) for 6-7 minutes. Steep each sponge in 125g of syrup. Then spread on 400g of confit. Put the assemblies in the freezer to firm up, then spread on 420g of whipped ganache. Freeze. Slice lengthways to make 3.5cm strips. Pile four strips on top of each other, then follow the same steps in reverse order to create a symmetrical effect. Freeze and place inside a 60 x 10cm frame. Prepare the pressed shortcrust pastry and use a spoon to spread 300g into a 60 x 10cm frame. Press out lightly and evenly. Leave to set in the refrigerator. Make the mousse and put approx. 250g straight on top of the insert in each frame, as well as spreading it unevenly along the sides before adding the pressed shortcrust. Freeze. Cut the dessert into isosceles triangles and pipe a droplet of whipped ganache on top of each one. Spray the cake slices with some glaze. Finish off with VALRHONA SIGNATURE Decorations.
