Assembly and finishing
As needed RASPBERRY INSPIRATION
As needed BLOND DULCEY 35%
Make the crisp and spread it to a depth of 4mm in a frame, using a guitar sheet to help you. Leave it to set overnight before cutting it into hearts. Cut some pre-set RASPBERRY INSPIRATION couverture into hearts just like the ones you made with the crisp. Use a piping bag with a 9mm nozzle to make small dabs of lemon cream around the crisp, then fill the center with raspberry crémeux. Put the RASPBERRY INSPIRATION heart on top, followed by a small disk of Viennese sponge (this will be the base for your jelly heart). Finish by arranging some balls of lemon cream around the heart and sprinkling on some lemon zests.
