Preparation

Cocoa sablé

Paddle the Crème Butter, icing sugar, flour and cocoa powder together in a mixing bowl until it reaches a sandy texture.

Add in egg white and mix briefly.

Leave the dough to rest in the chiller.

Roll the dough to 2 mm thickness and cut into 11 cm diameter flower shapes.

Bake at 150˚C for 13 minutes.

Coffee choux biscuit

Warm the milk (1) with the cooking oil, coffee powder and salt together in a saucepan to 70˚C.

Add in sifted flour and stir continuously until a dough is formed.

Blend the choux dough with milk (2), whole eggs and egg yolk together.

Make a medium-peaked French meringue with the sugar and egg whites.

Fold the meringue into choux batter and spread evenly onto a Flexipan (53 cm x 35 cm).

Bake at 155˚C for 15 minutes.

Hazelnut praline

Cook the sugar and water together in a saucepan to 121˚C, then remove from heat.

Add in hazelnuts and stir rapidly to coat the nuts completely in crystallized syrup.

Proceed to caramelize the crystalline sugar on low heat.

Add in the vanilla pod.

Spread onto a Silpat and leave to cool before blending into liquid paste.

Preserve in the chiller for later use.

Hazelnut crémeux

Make a crème patisserie with milk, sugar, corn starch, pectin and egg yolk together in a saucepan.

Mix in the Crème Butter, hazelnut paste and hazelnut praline, then emulsify well.

Preserve in the chiller.

Lemon confit

Blanch the lemon peel 3 times in fresh water.

In a saucepan, bring the lemon juice and sugar to a boil.

Add in the blanched lemon peels and cook at low heat for 45 minutes.

When it reaches 55 Brix, blend into a smooth paste.

Preserve in the chiller for later use.

Lemon marmalade

Mix sugar and agar together in a bowl.

Whisk water, lemon puree, agar-sugar mixture and lemon zest together in a saucepan, then bring to a boil and mix in the candied lemon and lemon confit.

Allow the marmalade to set in the chiller and blend into a smooth paste.

Preserve in the chiller for later use.

Coffee Chantilly

Infuse the coffee bean into the Stand & Overrun (1).

Strain out the coffee bean.

Warm the infusion with inverted sugar, vanilla pod and gelatin mass to 36˚C.

Emulsify well with Stand & Overrun (2) and mascarpone.

Preserve in the chiller overnight.

Cocoa glazing

Bring the glaze and water to a boil in a saucepan.

Add in the dark chocolate and emulsify well.

Assembly

On the flower sablé base, pipe lemon marmalade on the center and each flower petal.

Cut the coffee choux biscuit into 11 cm x 3 cm strips, fold both ends together and stick it onto the flower crust.

Pipe hazelnut crémeux into the middle of each coffee choux biscuit until it is 90% full.

Then, pipe a thin layer of hazelnut praline on top of the hazelnut crémeux.

Using a 2,4 cm in diameter round nozzle, pipe a tear drop of coffee Chantilly in the middle of the flower.

Freeze the product for 30 minutes.

Use a spray gun to spray a layer of hot cocoa glaze on the frozen coffee Chantilly.

Arrange the chocolate garnishes around the coffee Chantilly and decorate with chopped hazelnut pieces and hazelnut peels.
