Preparation steps

1. Sweet pastry dough

Rub the flour with the diced butter until sandy texture is obtained. Add almond powder, salt, and icing sugar. Incorporate the egg and mix coarsely. Homogenize the dough and chill for 2 hours. Cut with a cookie cutter.

2. Almond cream

Prepare the almond cream by vigorously beating the softened butter, almond powder, cornstarch, sugar, and whole egg. Add the rum, then pipe halfway into your lined sweet pastry circles. Bake at 160°C for 16 minutes.

3. Strawberry compote

Mix the sugar and pectin. Heat the strawberry puree to 40°C, then gradually pour the sugar/pectin mixture in rain. Bring to a boil. Pour over the cooled almond cream. Pour the compote rest into 6 cm diameter silicone half-spheres, incorporating diced strawberries inside, and freeze.

4. Orange blossom whipped cream

Gradually pour the orange blossom water into the cream, whisking continuously, along with the squeezed gelatin. Pipe onto the strawberry compote, and insert a frozen half-sphere on top.

5. Assembly

Cut the strawberries into quarters and arrange them on top of the compote insert. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and glaze with grapeseed oil.
