The recipe
For 4 entremets
Cherry compote
✔75g cherries
✔1g NH pectin
✔10g sugar
Mix powdered sugar and NH pectin in a small bowl.
Cut cherries into small cubes. Pour into a saucepan and cook over a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the pectin NH / sugar mixture and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring with a spatula.
Set the compote aside until you are ready to assemble the entremet.
Cherry mousse
✔270g fresh cherries
✔20g sugar
✔120g liquid cream
✔3g gelatin
In a saucepan, heat the chopped cherries with the caster sugar over a low heat for around 15 minutes.
Remove from the heat and blend, then strain the cherries using an immersion blender.
Place the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water for at least 10 minutes.
Return the blended cherries to the heat. Remove from the heat, add the gelatine, stir and set aside.
Whip the cold cream with an electric mixer.
Pour in the previous mixture when its temperature is < 30-35°C and stir gently. Assemble your entremet.
Assembly
Fill silikomart mould halfway with cherry mousse. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes. Add the cherry compote in the middle. Top with remaining cherry mousse. Freeze overnight or for at least 6 hours.
Shortbread cookie (next day)
✔80g Breton shortbread
✔35g melted butter
Crumble the Breton shortbread (Roudor type, for example) into a large bowl. Add the melted butter and mix well.
Using a pastry ring the same diameter as your entremet, use the back of a teaspoon to press the shortbread down about 5mm. Place in a cool place to harden.
The next day, unmold the entremets and immediately apply the fuchsia velvet spray.
Place each entremet on a cookie.
Place in a cool place to defrost. Allow at least 2 to 3 hours.
