Preparation

Extra creamy vanilla mousse

Boil the Cream (1) until its volume has reduced to two-thirds.

Make a custard from the reduced cream, scraped vanilla pod, sugar and egg yolks.

Melt the soaked gelatin, and whip the mixture cold to 40°C.

Fold in the Cream (2) that has been whipped until it formed soft peaks.

Caramelised apples

Mix the Roast & Fry, sugar and apples and arrange on a baking sheet.

Bake the apples at 180°C.

Stir every 10 minutes so that they come out an even golden brown.

Take the apples out of the oven when cooked.

Sponge cake

Beat the egg whites with half of the sugar.

Whisk the egg yolks with the other half of the sugar.

Fold the two airy mixtures together and finally mix in the dry ingredients.

Spread the resulting mixture on a baking sheet covered with baking paper (the quantities are correct for a 60 x 40 cm sheet) and bake at 200°C for 6 minutes.

Once cooled, cut the sponge into the shape of the mould you are going to fill.

Baked milk gel

Bring the milk and sugar to the boil and simmer until reduced by half.

Add the agar-agar and leave to simmer for 3 minutes.

Pour the warm mixture into a gastronorm and allow to cool.

Blend until smooth using a hand blender and fill a piping bag with the gel.

Apple strings

Boil all ingredients (except the apple) together and leave to cool with the spices in the syrup.

Cut long strands (like spaghetti) from the Granny Smith apple and leave them to marinate in the syrup.

Spiced ice cream

Heat the Cream, the milk and the sugar.

Meanwhile, mix all the dry ingredients together.

Make a mixture with the dry ingredients, egg yolk and some of the warm liquid.

Add this to the warm liquid and heat to 84°C, stirring well all the time.

Cool the ice cream, leave to mature overnight and churn in the ice cream makeror Pacojet.

Assembly

Start by shaping the bar in a silicone mould.

Fill the mould to two-thirds with the vanilla mousse.

Using a small palette knife, pull up the mousse along the edges.

Scoop the apples into the centre of the mould, then top with a layer of sponge cake.

Smooth off any excess mousse to get a flat bottom.

Freeze.

Freeze.

Remove the bar from the mould and pipe on a mixture of gold chocolate and cocoa butter (50/50).

Next, pipe a few dots of the baked milk gel on top.

Strain the marinated apple strings and arrange them on top of the cream.

Mix the sieved apple marinade with xanthan gum so that you can blend it up to a foam.

Pipe another dot of the baked milk gel next to the bar and spoon a quenelle of the ice cream on top of the cream.

Garnish with a puff pastry crisp and Atsina cress.

Finish with a spoonful of foam.
