Cut the strawberries into very small cubes. Pour the diced strawberries into a saucepan and heat over a low heat for a few minutes. Mix the caster sugar and pectin in a small bowl. Increase the heat and pour this mixture over the strawberries and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Fill a piping bag with the compote and set aside.
Place the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water. In a bowl, pour the 2 egg yolks and the 25g caster sugar. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, heat the 160g peeled and mixed yellow peaches. Pour over the previous mixture and stir. Return the mixture to the saucepan and, without stopping stirring, continue cooking like a custard, without exceeding 82-83°C. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, wrung out and softened. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, whip the 140g of very cold liquid cream with an electric mixer. Pour over the previous mixture, whose temperature is below 30°C, and stir gently with a spatula.
Assembly
Fill the silicone mould 3/4 full with peach mousse. Poach the strawberry compote. Top with peach mousse. Place in the freezer overnight.
Mix all the ingredients together, film and chill in the fridge. Roll out the pastry between two sheets of baking paper and cut out using a cookie cutter. Place in the freezer for a few minutes while you preheat your oven to 180°C. Place your pastry on a baking tray between two micro-perforated baking mats. Place in the oven for around ten minutes. Leave to cool.
The next day, unmould your desserts and immediately apply the yellow and pink or red velvet sprays.
Blend the strawberries. Place the gelatine in a bowl of cold water. Pour the blended strawberries with the caster sugar into a small saucepan and heat to a gentle simmer. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, wrung out and softened. I added a small amount of colouring because the strawberries lose their colour when heated. Mix well. Leave to cool a little before filling the openings in your dessert.
Strawberry mousse (the day before) ✔130g strawberries ✔3g gelatine ✔25g caster sugar ✔100g single cream 30% M.F. ✔a few drops of rose water flavouring

The recipe
For 4 desserts
Strawberry compote insert (the day before) ✔15g sugar ✔2g NH pectin ✔90g strawberries
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and pectin. Pour the 90g of diced strawberries into a saucepan . Heat over a low/medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring a little. Increase the heat and, as soon as it starts to boil, add the sugar and pectin mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Turn off the heat. Fill 4 cavities of the silikomart small oven insert mould (3/4 full), leave to cool slightly then place in the freezer for at least 3 to 4 hours.
Dahlia petal flower ✔An untreated dahlia flower ✔Sugar powder ✔1 egg white ✔20g white chocolate
Take a dahlia flower and carefully remove the petals. In a small bowl, lightly mix an egg white and brush it onto both sides of the flower petal. Cover the entire petal with the egg white. Immediately dip the petal in a bowl of sugar to coat both sides evenly. Shake the petal lightly to remove the excess sugar and place it flat on a baking tray. Repeat the operation for all the petals. Be patient, as this takes a little time… Leave to dry for at least 24 hours, if possible in the sun. As they dry, the petals lose some of their colour.
The next day, melt some white chocolate in the microwave. Place a small spoon on a square of baking paper and harmoniously place your crystallised petals. I used some kitchen roll around the petals to keep them slightly raised while the chocolate hardened. Allow to set before handling. Store in a dry place, away from moisture (not in the fridge).
In a bowl, add the almond powder, icing sugar, flour and melted butter. Mix well. Add the egg and mix again.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer. Fold in a small amount to loosen the mixture, then gently fold in the rest using a pastry blender. Pour the biscuit dough onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, smoothing with an angled spatula. Do not spread the dough out too much, so that it is at least 5 to 8 mm thick.
Bake the biscuit for around ten minutes at 180°C. The time may vary depending on the oven. The biscuit should come out golden brown. Take the biscuit out of the oven and leave it to cool before cutting it out with a circular cookie cutter to the diameter of the opening in your silikomart mould.
Strawberry mousse (the day before) ✔130g strawberries ✔3g gelatine ✔25g caster sugar ✔100g single cream 30% M.F. ✔a few drops of rose water flavouring
Place the gelatine in a large bowl of cold water. Pour the 130g of blended strawberries into a saucepan. Bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the wrung-out gelatine. Set aside. In a salad bowl, whip the very cold liquid cream and gently fold in the cooled mixture using a pastry blender.
Assembly Fill the silikomart mini Goccia X6 mould with strawberry mousse, add the frozen insert, add a little more mousse if necessary and finish with the biscuit. Place in the freezer overnight.
The next day, remove the frozen entremets from the moulds. Immediately apply the velvet spray. I used one white and one pink.
At the last minute, just before serving, add the flowers made from the crystallised dahlia petals.
Peaches in syrup 3 yellow peaches Water 150g caster sugar Liquid vanilla
Take 3 large yellow peaches and cut them in half without peeling. Cook in a large saucepan with water, caster sugar and liquid vanilla for about 15 minutes. Cooking time depends on the ripeness of your peaches. Insert the tip of a knife to check for doneness.
Remove the peaches from the pan and keep the cooking juices to drizzle over the peaches after the tart is cooked. I left the peach juices to heat through so that they reduced. Gently peel your peaches and leave them on a paper towel.

I was inspired by the recipe I found on the Pupilles et Gourmandises website.
Serves 4-6
Peaches in syrup (the day before) ✔1 l water ✔1 handful raspberries ✔Mint leaves ✔2 white peaches ✔100g sugar
Pour the water, handful of raspberries, mint leaves and sugar into a saucepan. Cut two white peaches into 4 and add to the saucepan. Cook for around 15 minutes. Cooking time may vary according to the ripeness of your peaches. They should be just melting, but not overcooked.
Pick and peel the peaches. Strain the juice from the peaches through a sieve and keep 200g of juice. Halve the peaches and arrange in the bottom of the silikomart mould.
Peach jelly (the day before) ✔200g filtered juice ✔5g gelatin
Place gelatine leaves in a bowl. Heat the filtered peach cooking juice. As soon as it boils, turn off the heat and add the wrung-out, softened gelatine. Pour the juice over the peaches. Chill for 1 hour, then freeze overnight.
Mix all ingredients together, film and chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper , line your tart tin, placed on a micro-perforated baking mat (optional, you can add a micro-perforated strip to the inside of your circle) , then place in the freezer for 10 minutes while you preheat your oven to 170°C. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Leave to cool.
Cream the butter with the powdered sugar. Add almond powder and eggs. Mix well. Pour into tart shell and bake for 20 minutes (time may vary according to oven). Leave to cool.
Cut the strawberries into very small cubes and heat over low heat, stirring regularly, for around 5 minutes. Increase the intensity of the heat and as soon as it starts to boil add the sugar and pectin mixture. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Turn off the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Pour the compote over the tart, smoothing with a spatula. Set aside in a cool place.
Neutral glaze ✔5g gelatin ✔75 ml water ✔100 g powdered sugar ✔25 g glucose
In a bowl of cold water, place the gelatin leaves. In a saucepan, heat the sugar, water and glucose. Off the heat, add the wrung-out gelatin. Mix well. Wait for the mixture to reach 30°C before glazing your frozen peach puck. Place the peaches on your tart.
Pour the mascarpone and cold liquid cream into a bowl and whip with an electric mixer. Gradually fold in the sugar. Fill a piping bag fitted with a Saint Honoré tip and poach the whipped cream all around the peach puck.
For the homemade caramel ✔160g caster sugar ✔200g heated single cream ✔50g semi-salted butter
Melt the sugar in a saucepan. When it has a nice amber colour, remove from the heat and add the heated cream. Mix well and return to the heat to melt all the caramel. Remove from the heat and add the butter. Leave to cool, then fill a piping bag with the mixture.

Mix well and chill for at least 15 minutes. Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk.
Stabglaces is an emulsifier for making ice cream. It stabilises the aqueous structure of the mixture, preventing the formation of unpleasant ice crystals.
Assembly
Add a little caster sugar to a pan and melt until it is a lovely golden colour. Add the pecans and coat well in the caramel. Pour onto a sheet of baking paper or a silicone mat, spacing them out to prevent them sticking together. Leave to cool well.
Fill the magnum mould halfway with the cream. Add the homemade caramel and caramelised pecans. Top with cream. Don’t forget to add a wooden stick, smooth with an angled spatula to remove any excess and place in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
Melt the Dulcey chocolate with the neutral oil in a narrow container that can still hold the magnum.
What is Dulcey? Blond chocolate, otherwise known as Dulcey chocolate, is made from caramelised white chocolate.
–> So here I used white chocolate that I placed in an ovenproof dish with a little neutral oil and I baked it at 120°C, stirring it regularly until it coloured.
Unmould your magnums. When the chocolate is below 35°C, dip the frozen magnum into the chocolate.
