Assembly and finishing
SQ OPALYS 33%
SQ Fresh strawberries
Make the namelaka, strawberry confit, streusel and coconut sorbet.
Make the sponge, then spread into 18 Å~ 18cm frames placed on top of a tray lined with a silicone baking mat. Bake at 355ÅãF (180ÅãC) for 20 to 25 minutes.
Spread the tempered OPALYS between two guitar sheets bearing your logo.
When the couverture starts to set, use a cutter to cut into egg-shaped rings with an outer diameter of 7cm and an inner diameter of 5cm. Leave to set at 60ÅãF (16ÅãC).
Use a stencil to help you spread a 14cm egg-shaped ring of (approx. 10g) strawberry confit onto the center of the plate.
Use a piping bag with an open star nozzle to pipe 30g of OPALYS namelaka onto the rounded part of the egg.
Use a piping bag (no nozzle required) to pipe 8g of strawberry confit onto the center of the namelaka.
Cut out three 1.5 Å~ 1.5cm cubes of pistachio sponge and place on the dessert (see photo).
