Directions:

PECAN SWEET PASTRY

• 1. In a mixing bowl with a paddle attachment, crumble the butter, cut into small cubes, with the dry ingredients until it reaches a sandy texture.
• 2. Then, add the whole eggs, and once the mixture starts to clump together, stop mixing to avoid kneading. If necessary, finish mixing by hand with a light touch to avoid developing the dough’s gluten.
• 3. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 2.5 cm between two sheets of parchment paper. Let it rest overnight in the refrigerator.
• 4. Cut out fluted discs 5 cm in diameter. Bake for 20 minutes at 160°C between two silpain mats.

PEANUT PRALINE

• 1. Roast the peanuts and almonds for 20 minutes at 160°C in a convection oven and then allow to cool.
• 2. Make a brown caramel with the sugar, then pour over the almonds and fleur de sel.
• 3. Cool, then blend the praline without heating. Pipe 8 g of peanut praline into pomponette molds and freeze.

COLOMBIAN COFFEE CREAM

• 1. Heat the cream, glucose, inverted sugar, and pectin X5
• 2. Bring to a boil and pour over the chocolate coating. Blend, then pour 10 g over the peanut praline.

PAIN DE GÊNE

• 1. In a food processor, blend the almond paste while gradually adding the whole eggs, egg yolks, and coffee extract until smooth.
• 2. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl with a whisk attachment and emulsify. Then, add sifted flour and potato starch to the emulsified mixture. Finish by incorporating melted unsalted butter.

• 4. Cut out discs 3.5 cm in diameter and place them on the Colombian Coffee Cream in silicone pomponette molds, then freeze and unmold the inserts.

COLOMBIAN COFFEE MOUSSE

• 1. Heat the cream and milk in a saucepan. Make a crème anglaise with the egg yolks. Incorporate the gelatin mass and white chocolate, then the Colombian coffee extract. Blend, then cool to 21°C.
• 2. Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the second portion of cream. Gently fold the whipped cream into the crème anglaise.
• 3. Pipe 15 g of mousse into 4.5 cm diameter by 2.5 cm high silicone molds. Immerse the frozen inserts into the mousse and smooth the tops. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then freeze. Unmold the frozen desserts.

NEUTRAL COLOMBIAN COFFEE GLAZE

• 1. Heat water, lemon juice, and glucose with the larger portion of sugar to 50°C.
• 2. Add pectin X58 mixed with the second portion of sugar and blend using an immersion blender, then heat to 85°C. Then add the Colombian coffee extract, cover with cling film directly on the surface, and let cool for 24 hours before use.
