Assembly and finishing
Make the almond streusel, ALMOND PRALINÉ crémeux and honey whipped ganache.
Make the blackcurrant confit.
Pour 20g of confit into each 7cm half-sphere in a flexible mold. Freeze.
Make the honey sponge and weigh 1250g into a deep 40×60cm flexible mold. Bake at 355°F (175°C) for 8 minutes.
Make the TANARIVA crisp and spread 550g into a 34cm×34cm×4mm frame.
Put the frame into the refrigerator set at 40°F (4°C) for a few moments, then use a cutter to cut the crisp into 4.5cm rounds. Store at 80°F (4°C).
Cut out rounds of honey sponge with a diameter of 5cm.
Use a piping bag with a 9mm nozzle to pipe 20g of ALMOND PRALINÉ crémeux onto the sponge, then add a half-sphere of blackcurrant confit. Freeze.
Make the honey whipped ganache.
Place a disk of TANARIVA crisp in a 7cm half-sphere flexible mold.
Pipe 35g of honey whipped ganache against the edges of the mold.
Put in place the honey sponge, crémeux and blackcurrant confit insert, pressing down lightly so that the whipped ganache rises up. Freeze.
