Assembly and finishing
As needed Honey
Preparation: Make the cardamom and coconut sorbet. Leave to sit for at least 24 hours. Sift and store in a Pacojet at -1°F (-18°C). Make the meringue. Blow up some balloons, then dip them in the meringue to create a smooth shell. Wedge the meringue-coated balloons on a rack. Dry in a hot cupboard at 150°F (65°C). Process the sorbet in the Pacojet. Pour the sorbet into a tray so it can be made into sorbet shavings. At the same time, pour the sorbet into flexible mini pebble-shaped molds.
Make the plant-based sponge. Pour the sponge mix into a ring and bake at 355°F (180°C) for 30 minutes (fan speed 4, door closed). Once it is out of the oven, cover the sponge with baking paper. Put it in the refrigerator and cut it into circles with a depth of 0.9cm and a diameter of 2.3cm.
Make the coconut cream, the coconut dulce de leche, the vanilla caviar, the coconut foam and the chutney. Make the shortcrust pastry. Once it has cooled, break it into pieces and pile these into a cutter to make a base for the ice cream.
Plating: Gently turn out the meringue shells. Use a grater to shape a stable, tilted base so you can set them on your plate. Make the coconut sorbet shaving then store it in the freezer. Place the meringues on the plate, as well as the shortcrust base on which you will arrange the sorbet later on. Once you have decided how to arrange the dessert’s different parts, stick the shortcrust onto the plate. Place the meringue shells in a mold.
Fill each shell one by one with:
A sponge round
A dab of coconut cream that fully covers the sponge round
A pebble of sorbet
Some mango chutney
A dab of vanilla caviar
Finish off with some foam.
Stick the meringue shells on a plate using a dab of honey. Place the sorbet on the shortcrust. Garnish the dessert and plate. Finish off by adding some dabs of plant-based dulce de leche and coconut cream, as well as some sprigs of wood sorrel.
