Assembly and finishing
PREPARATION
Make the Matcha Inspiration whipped ganache and tangerine-bergamot confit, then store in the refrigerator.
Make the almond express sponge and weigh 100g into 16cm diameter silicone molds. Bake at 320°F (160°C) for approx. 12 minutes. Freeze.
Make the base using Matcha Inspiration and crispy wheat flakes, weighing 75g directly into 14cm rings; press lightly and store in the refrigerator.
ASSEMBLY
Whisk the tangerine-bergamot confit to achieve a smooth texture. Weigh 130g of confit onto each sponge base, spread evenly over the surface, and freeze.
Line the 16cm diameter rings with acetate. Whip the Matcha Inspiration whipped ganache until firm, then using a piping bag fitted with a plain 12mm nozzle, pipe even dots against the ring all around (see photo).
Place the frozen sponge (candied side down). Freeze.
Make the light Sichuan pepper-flavored Opalys mousse. Let the mousse thicken slightly before pouring 180g directly onto each dessert.
Place the crispy base flush with the top, smooth if necessary, and freeze.
FINISHING
Prepare citrus segments with the grapefruits, lemons, and oranges. Arrange the segments harmoniously in the center of the dessert.
Using a spray gun, spray the entire dessert with Absolu neutral glaze.
Using the tempered Matcha Inspiration couverture, make dots on a strip of guitar sheet, then dust with Matcha tea powder.
Place a second strip of guitar sheet on top, press lightly, then shape over a curve. Leave to set.
Add a few decorations and your house logo to the desserts.
