70 g cocoa nib powder
20 g peanut paste

1 - The day before, make the banana leaf ice cream: bring the milk and cream to the boil, add the banana leaf and leave to infuse for 30 min off the heat. Remove the banana leaf and make a custard with the infused liquid, egg yolks and sugar. Leave to cool for 24 h, then place in an ice-cream maker.

2 - Cassava cake: mix the ingredients and pour into a greased baking tin (30 x 30 x 7 cm) lined with baking paper. Bake at 180°C (gas mark 6) for 45 min. Leave to cool and cut as desired.

3 - Cake toppings: heat the sweetened condensed milk and coconut milk together in a saucepan. Mix the flour and egg yolks in a bowl and add to the saucepan. Mix to a thick consistency. Leave to cool in a container. Add to the cassava cake at the last minute and caramelize with a blowtorch before serving.

4 - Chocolate crumble: mix all ingredients with a mixer and bake at 180°C (th. 6) for 10 min.

5 - Coconut cream: heat the coconut milk and cream. Mix the milk with the cornflour and salt in a bowl. Make a custard with this mixture and the coconut milk and cream. Pour the white chocolate into a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add the butter and pour into a piping bag to create the decorative dots on the plate.

6 - Tsokolate: place all ingredients in a saucepan and heat until smooth.
