Sweetened purple fig puree

Thanks to our fruit sourcing expertise and our proximity to key growing regions, we select purple figs from the Mediterranean basin, renowned for their aromatic richness and flavour quality. Part of the fruit is processed fresh at our primary processing facility in Spain, helping to preserve its full character. Its texture and flavour profile make it ideal for mousses, Bavarian creams and tartlets, as well as pairings with chocolate, raspberry and vanilla.

Preparation steps

1. Gavotte

Heat the water 1 and pour over the flax seeds. Leave to absorb for 1 minute. Add the sugar and the flour , then mix. In a saucepan, bring to the boil the margarine, fleur de sel and water 2. Pour over the first mixture, then drip down 160 g onto a 30×40 silpat® baking tray. Bake at 170°C for 18 minutes. Remove from the mould and roll around a rolling pin and let cool.

2. Fig/cherry confit

Mix the sugar and the alginate, add the fruit purees and blend with an immersion blender for 1 minute. Add the cherry high fruit compote and refrigerate the whole.

3. Hazelnut cream

Mix all the ingredients except the cocoa butter. Warm over, then bring to the boil. Pour into a mixing bowl and blend by adding in the melted cocoa butter. Refrigerate. Smooth out before use.
