Mix the vanilla paste with the peanut puree. Add the melted white chocolate. Pour over the shortbread and the crispy layer. Add the mixed fleur de sel and mix. Weigh 120 g per 16 cm ring.

Whisk the whole eggs and sugars until frothy. Sift the dry ingredients together and add them gradually to the frothy mixture. Mix the melted warm butter and cream before incorporating them. Pour 190 g per ring and add the semi-candied blueberries (30 g per ring). Bake at 170°C for 12 to 15 minutes.
Mixed berries compote

Milk mousse

Heat the milk, condensed milk, and milk powder together. Add the gelatin mass. Let cool. Make an Italian meringue with the egg whites and sugar. Smooth the gelatinized milk and mix at 18°C. Gradually fold in the whipped cream. Assemble using 230 g per mold.
Mixed berries confit

Heat the puree to 30°C, then add the sugar and NH pectin mixture. Cook at 85°C for 5 minutes, then add the lemon puree, blend, and let cool in the refrigerator. Blend to smooth and store in cones or small bags.
