  1. The Passion Heart

    Bring the pulp and sugar to a simmer. Sprinkle the starch in water, add, boil for 1 minute. Cool completely.

  2. The hulls

    Melt the chocolate. Brush the inside of the six mould cavities with a thin layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, add a second layer to reach about 2 mm, then cool for 20 minutes. Spread the chocolate in pallets to serve separately.

  3. The cream

    Whisk mascarpone, cream, icing sugar and vanilla until you get a firm cream. Garnish the hulls with two-thirds, dig a small well and place a spoon of passion. Cover with cream and place a shortbread close to the edge.

  4. Unmould

    Refrigerate for 2 hours. Gently release the silicone, return to the plates. The domes rest entirely on their shortbread.

  5. The drop

    Leave for 5 minutes at room temperature and then give a little spoon: the case breaks, the cream and the passion heart remain in place.

Conservation. Keep covered in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours. Leave for 10 minutes before serving.

Baking tips for this recipe

Substitutions and variations

To replace a main ingredient, choose another sheet designed with the one you want to use. Changing the proportions of fat, sugar or liquid can change the hold of the dessert.

Keep the type of chocolate provided for the structure or ganache. Switching from dark chocolate to white chocolate changes the balance: the quantities do not transpose directly.
