Coconut dacquoise

Beat the egg white with the sugar until peaks form.

Banana and lime compôte

Caramelise the glucose syrup and sugar (1).

Reduce with the purée, lime juice, and zest.

Spread the sugar (2) and pectin mixture over the hot mixture and bring to the boil, stirring continuously.

Remove from the heat, add the ground black pepper, then pour over the caramel chocolate.

Emulsify with a hand blender and spread over the baked coconut dacquoise.

Freeze.

Reserve 50 g for finishing.

Namelaka Velvet

Heat the milk with the crushed lemongrass.

Leave in the refrigerator overnight.

Sieve and heat together with the inverted sugar and Gelecta®.

Pour over the white chocolate and emulsify with a hand blender.

Fold in the half-whipped Duo at about 40°C.

Spread over the frozen frame.

Store in the freezer.

Mascarpone cream

Mix all ingredients together without beating and leave in the refrigerator overnight.

Assembly

Assemble the dacquoise, the compôte, and the namelaka one after the other. 

Beat the mascarpone cream until stiff and pipe crosswise over the frame. 

Carefully press a rigid plastic sheet over it to flatten the ripples of piped cream and freeze.

Carefully remove the plastic sheet.

Finish with a few dollops of banana and lime compôte and pieces of fresh coconut.
