Cocoa Crust

Caramel Mousse

White Chocolate Mousse

Preparation

  1. For the raspberry coulis cook over low heat until the raspberry puree with lemon juice and sugar is reduced, then cool.

  2. Blend the hazelnuts, then add butter, sugar, and salt. Next, mix with cocoa powder and rice flour to create the Cocoa “Soil” Crust. Spread thinly on a baking sheet over parchment paper and bake at 320°F for 25 minutes. Let cool and crumble by hand.

  3. Melt the chocolates in a double boiler, and whip the cream. Add the soaked gelatin to the warm chocolate.

    Slowly blend the room-temperature chocolate with the whipped cream to create the light and airy caramel and white chocolate mousse.

  4. Pour the coulis onto the plate, and place the cocoa mixture on top. Then, pipe dollops of mousse using a pastry bag, decorate with edible flowers and shaved chocolate curls, and serve!
