-
Sweet chocolate pastry
Rub the butter into the flour, cocoa powder, icing sugar, ground almonds and salt. Add the eggs and colouring and mix without kneading. Let the dough rest and roll out to 1.5 mm. Cut out 7 cm circles. Bake on inverted moulds at 150°C for 15 minutes.
-
Pecan cookie dough
Cream butter with sugars, add tempered eggs and finish with flour and baking powder previously sifted with pecan powder. Bake in tartlet or muffin molds at 180°C for 5 minutes.
-
Intense chocolate ganache
Boil the cream, milk and glucose together. Pour the mixture over the chocolate and blend until emulsified. Pour into the sweet pastry base with the cookie.
-
Chocolate cream
Infuse the vanilla pods and lime zest for 10 minutes. Strain and cook at 82°C with the yolks and invert sugar. Pour over the chocolate and blend to emulsify. Set aside for assembly.
-
Chocolate pecan streusel
Coarsely grind the pecans. Rub in with the remaining ingredients, then pass through a large sieve. Place on a Silpain® sheet. Bake for 25 minutes at 140°C in a convection oven. When cool, mix with the chocolate, chopped beforehand with a knife.
-
Banana confit
Heat the purees together. Mix the sugars with the NH pectin and agar-agar. Add to the mixture at 40°C and bring to the boil. Blend while adding the lime juice and grated ginger. Finish with the banana cubes. Pour into the moulds.
-
Chocolate mousse
Cook the milk, cream, egg yolks and invert sugar at 82°C. Strain onto the chocolates and make an emulsion. At 39°C, add the whipped cream. Use immediately.
-
Assembly
Bake the sweet pastry bases on the inverted moulds. When cool, place the cookie ball in the cooked pastry base and then in the mould pan so as not to distort the base. Smooth with the ganache. Make the insert with the banana confit and the chocolate cream and then put the two parts together. Dip into the chocolate mousse at 39°C and then place the streusel and chocolate mixture on top.
-
Finish
Spray the chocolate at 45°C with a 3 nozzle and melt with a micro-torch. Spray the crispy part with the hot glaze. Sprinkle the cocoa powder through a strainer.
