215g Crispy wheat flake cereal

Step04

Fruity blueberry Italian meringue

30g 100% Vaccinium Myrtillus blueberry purée
4g Albuwhip
10g Water
35g Sugar

In the bowl of a mixer, combine the fruit purée chilled to 40°F (4°C) and the sifted albumin.
Mix and wait 15/20 minutes for the albumin to bloom.
In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar, cook at 245°F (118°C), then combine them with the purée and albumin once they are frothy.
Beat on a medium speed in a blender until cool (approx. 85°F or 30°C).
Step05

Fruity blueberry whipped cream

40g 100% Vaccinium Myrtillus blueberry purée
70g Whipping cream

Combine the fruit purée and cream (both chilled to 40°F or 4°C) and beat them at a medium speed until they have the airy texture of a standard whipped cream.
Step06

Intense Vaccinium Myrtillus Blueberry Mousse

6.5g Powdered gelatin 220 Bloom
100g 100% Vaccinium Myrtillus blueberry purée
200g 100% Vaccinium Myrtillus blueberry purée
80g Fruity blueberry Italian meringue
120g Fruity blueberry whipped cream

Sprinkle the gelatin over the smaller portion of fruit purée chilled to 40°F (4°C), then wait 15 to 20 minutes for the gelatin to bloom.
Heat the mixture to 120/140°F (50/60°C) to melt the gelatin, then combine it with the second portion of purée chilled to 40°F (4°C). Mix with an immersion blender until completely homogenous.
Combine about one third of the purée with the Italian meringue, starting with a whisk to bring the different textures together.
Add the remaining fruit purée and mix it in with a spatula, then finish off by gently folding in the whipped cream so you lose as little volume as possible.
Immediately pour into a container.

Bring the milk and glucose DE60 to a boil, then combine them with the egg yolks. Heat the mixture to 183°F (84°C) and mix with an immersion blender to combine. Use immediately or cool down quickly and store in the refrigerator.

Assembly and finishing

Make the sponge and put 200g in each 16cm ring, then bake for 25 minutes at 320°F (160°C). Place the sponges in the freezer as soon as they have baked.
Make the confit and spread 250g onto each sponge circle. Smooth the surface and freeze. Make the almond crisp and spread 90g into 14cm rings. Keep refrigerated.

Make the intense blueberry mousse and pour 10g into each cavity in a Silikomart Truffles 40 mold, and 4g into each indent in a Silikomart Truffles 5 mold. Freeze.

Assembly:

Make the Opalys and Vakana mousse and let it start to set slightly before you use it, to make the assembly tidier. Put the insert in a Silikomart Wave mold with the confit facing downwards.
Place 270g of mousse around the edges and on top of the insert. Add the crisp, and freeze.

Finishes:

Turn out the desserts and molded blueberry mousse pieces. Place 5 large blueberry mousse pieces and 6 small blueberry mousse pieces on the confit. Completely spray the dessert with Absolu glaze, then use the blueberry glaze to coat just the edges so that they are evenly shaded.
