Assembly and finishing

valrhona.asia/kamelia

Make the Komuntu and mint milk ice cream, whipped ganache, cocoa glaze and cocoa nib opalines. Make the cooking juices and use them to make the vinegar-flavored forest fruit juice. Prepare the pickled forest fruit.
Churn the ice cream and pipe 30g into ring-shaped molds (Silikomart SF268). Freeze.
Make the P125 shortcrust pastry and spread it out to 2mm. Freeze it and cut it into rings using an 8.5cm diameter perforated cutter and a 5.5cm diameter cutter. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 20 minutes.

Make the forest fruit jelly and pour it into a 40×30cm frame on a silicone mat. Leave to cool. Using a 5.5cm diameter cutter, cut out jelly circles. Store in the refrigerator with its surface covered with a sheet of guitar paper.
Make the mint crémeux and pour 15g into flexipan ring-shaped molds (Silikomart SF269). Freeze.
Make the forest fruit confit, turn out the mint crémeux and soak each one in the confit. Freeze. Cool down the remaining confit and keep it for the compote.

Whip up the whipped ganache, taking care to retain its supple texture. Pipe 20g into ring molds (Silikomart SF268), put in place the mint confit crémeux insert and cover it with 10g of whipped ganache, smoothing the surface so it is level. Freeze.
Make the Komuntu cocoa nib ice-cream coating, turn out the rings of ice cream and dip them in the glaze so they are completely covered. Freeze. Spread some pre-crystallized Komuntu couverture between two guitar sheets and cut it into rings with an outer diameter of 9cm and a 7.5cm hole in the middle.

Spread some Komuntu couverture over a sheet of guitar paper using a fine comb. Use a stylus with a rubber tip to connect the lines together into petal shapes and curve them by setting them on a U-shaped mold. Leave to set.
Sprinkle the cocoa nib opaline onto a lightly greased silicone mat which you have covered with a petal-shaped stencil. Put the opalines in the oven at 355°F (180°C) for 2 minutes. Once out of the oven, turn the silicone mat over onto a sheet of parchment paper, then roll it over on itself to peel off the opalines. Bake them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few seconds so that they take on a curved shape. Store in a hermetically sealed box away from any moisture.

Turn out the ring-shaped Komuntu decorations and put them in the freezer. Make the spray mix and use a spray gun to apply a light velvety covering to the decorations.
Heat the cocoa glaze to 68/72°F (20/22°C), turn out the rings of whipped ganache and glaze them. Place them directly onto the P125 shortbread. Store at 40°F (4°C). Make the forest fruit compote.

ASSEMBLY

Arrange three dabs of whipped ganache on the back and top of each ice cream ring to stick it to the bottom of the plate. Pipe 10g of whipped ganache into the base of the ring.
Put in place a shortbread with the glazed assembly on top.
Add 40g of forest fruit compote to the center of the ring.

Place a fine piece of forest fruit jelly to cover up the center.
Turn out the petal-shaped Komuntu decorations. Arrange three opalines and three decorations so that they are alternating and slightly overlapping. Finish off by placing the chocolate ring on the edge of the assembly.
