Preparation

  1. Roast almonds and pistachios for 8 minutes at 150 °C. Melt 30 g of sugar in a small skillet until browned, add dried fruits and pour over baking paper. Cool and then crush.
  2. Put white, honey and 30 g of sugar in a bowl on a mild bain-marie. Whisk up to 71 °C, checking with a thermometer, then remove from the bath and beat until cooled and firm.
  3. Reserve a tablespoon of crushed dried fruit and some orange diced for finishing. Whisk the cold cream in soft Chantilly. Stir in the refrigerator meringue, then add the rest of the dried fruits and candied orange.
  4. Spread the preparation into six 220 ml half-sphere imprints, leaving 5 mm free at the edge. Depending on the amount of air incorporated, place any excess in a small cup to be frozen separately. Smooth, cover and freeze for at least 6 hours.
  5. Unmold on cold plates. Melt the white chocolate and warm it; draw a 2 cm low arch on the front of each dome and two small horizontal lines on the top. Spread the coulis in a small puddle at the foot, then the dried fruits and orange dice reserved around. Return to the freezer for 15 minutes, then serve after 5 minutes of relaxation.

Preserve and Serve

7 days in the freezer at 18 °C, well protected; do not refreeze after melting.

Baking tips for this recipe

  • Preheat the oven according to the plug and prepare the mold before mixing the last ingredients.
  • Uses the dimensions and cooking mode indicated: a higher or wider mold changes the cooking of the center.
  • Follow the visual cues of step by step in addition to the duration. Respect the intended cooling before unmoulding or decorating.

Substitutions and variations

You can choose a sweeter or more full-bodied honey, keeping the indicated amount. Replacing honey with dry sugar, on the other hand, requires a review of the recipe.

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.
