Preparation
- Whisk the egg, smallest portion of sugar, and almond powder until light and airy.
- Fold in the melted (hot) butter.
- Beat the egg whites with the larger portion of sugar until stiff, then fold into the other egg mixture.
- Sift the flour with the salt and custard powder, and fold this into the eggs.
- Spread the mixture over a baking tray and bake at 180°C.
- Let cool and cut out to the size of a frame (20 x 20 cm).
- Cook the puree, jam, honey, and star anise.
- Let it stand for an hour to infuse the star anise.
- Bring the mixture back to a boil and add the sugar mixed with the doppelquelle.
- Thicken this mixture by letting it simmer gently for a while.
- Remove the star anise.
- Mix the gelatin with the water and add it.
- Cut the mandarin and add it last.
- Pour this compote onto the biscuit and freeze it.
- Once frozen, remove from the frame and cut into 2.5 x 6 cm pieces for the interior.
- Mix the sugar with the oveneve and whip into a meringue with the sea buckthorn puree and one part of the water.
- Heat the calamansi puree and mix it with the soaked (other part of water) gelatin and the yogurt powder, let this mixture cool to about 35°C and then mix with the meringue.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold in the quark, then fold in the meringue mixture.
- Pipe the mousse into a buchette mold and press the interior into it.
- Level the mold and freeze.
- Heat the neutral jelly, glucose, condensed milk and dissolve the gelatin, pre-soaked in water, in it.
- Add the chocolate last.
- Color half of the jelly with the white coloring and the other half with the orange coloring.
- Mix the 2 colors in a measuring jug by pouring them in simultaneously. Be careful not to stir in the jug.
- Remove the frozen desserts from the mold and place them on a rack.
- Pour the warm jelly "rocking" over the desserts to create a striped marble effect.
- Cook the puree with the sugar.
- Pour over the egg and yolk and cook slowly over low heat.
- Soak the gelatin in the water and add it.
- Cool to about 40°C and fold the soft butter into the cremeux.
- Pipe half of the cremeux into a quenelle mold and reserve the rest for the "swipe" on the plate.
- Mix the sugar, flour, and sea buckthorn puree and fold in the melted butter.
- Using a piping bag, pipe dots of various sizes onto a baking mat and bake the tuiles at 170°C.
- After baking, let the tuiles cool slightly and place them over a tube to create a curved shape.
- Mix the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder.
- Fold in the egg white and yolk.
- Sift the mixture and put it in a siphon.
- Using 2 cartridges, dispense the batter into a plastic cup (no more than 1/3 full) and cook in the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Tear the sponge into pieces for decoration.
- Caramelize the honey and sugar with the star anise.
- Deglaze with the sea buckthorn puree and cook down to 105°C.
- Remove the star anise and add the sliced mandarin segments.
- Make cups in a bonbon mold by turning the mold over immediately after filling and letting the drops remain.
- Fill these cups with the caramel and mandarin.
