Steps for Nicolas Girardot 's chocolate cremeux
- Porcini ice cream (the day before): heat the milk and sugar. Leave the dried porcini mushrooms to infuse overnight in the sweetened milk. Strain, then run through an ice-cream maker.
- Ganache montée (the day before): heat the milk and cream. Pour over chocolate and miso. Leave to cool for around 12 h. Whip like a chantilly.
- Mandong Grand Cru chocolate cream: make a custard by bringing the milk to the boil. In a second saucepan, whisk together the egg yolk and sugar. Gradually add the milk and whisk, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens. Pour the hot mixture over the chocolate. Beat until cold.
- Cabosse et sapin gel: heat the cabosse pulp and water with the fir needles, leave to infuse for 15 min. Filter, then boil with agar-agar and xanthan gum. Allow to set, then blend to texture.
- Hazelnut miso caramel: cook the sugar to a caramel consistency. Decook with the cream, then reduce slightly. Let cool, then blend in the butter and miso.
- Cookie gavottes: heat 15 cl water, butter and salt. Stir in remaining ingredients, then boil for approx. 1 min. Remove and leave to cool. Spread the dough on a Silpat sheet and bake at 160°C until golden. Crumple the cookie into a ball when removed from the oven.
- Arrange: place the cream, then the ganache on top. Arrange the cabosse gel, caramel and gavotte cookie in a harmonious pattern. Finish with the porcini ice cream.
