Sweet Pastry
  • First mix the creamed butter, fine salt, confectioner's sugar, almond flour, eggs, and 120g of flour. Do not overwork the mixture.

Roll out the dough to a depth of 3mm and cut into pieces using the correctly shaped cookie cutter. Bake at 300°F (150°C) until golden brown.

Opaline
  • Cook the fondant and glucose at 320°F (160°C), pour them out onto a non-stick mat and leave to cool completely. Blend the resulting hard layer into a fine powder. Sift the powder into a pear-shaped mold. Bake at 320°F (160°C) for 2 minutes, until the powder has fused together and has a glossy look. Leave to cool, then use a spatula to help you gently turn it out.

Pear & Sweet Spice Coulis
  • Heat 100g of pear puree with the spices in a saucepan. Once the mixture reaches 175°F (80°C), turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 15/20 minutes with the lid on. Strain. Return the infused puree to the saucepan. Add the remaining pear puree, the sugar and the lemon juice. Bring to a simmering boil (175/185°F or 80/85°C). Take the pan off the heat and add the cornstarch diluted in a small amount of cold water. Whisk until thickened. Blend using an immersion blender to get rid of any lumps. Spoon this mixture into the half-sphere molds and freeze. Turn out the half-spheres and coat them with neutral glaze. Set aside.
