In a bowl, whip the cold cream with an electric mixer. Add the cooled compote and stir gently with a spatula. Assemble.

Assembly

Fill the Pavoni mould with apple mousse halfway up the sides. Add the caramel cream insert. Top with a little apple mousse and finish with the hazelnut praline crunch. Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight.

The recipe

For 4 desserts

Hazelnut praline
✔150g hazelnuts
✔75g caster sugar

Place the hazelnuts on a baking tray and bake at 150°C for 15 minutes. Pour the caster sugar into a saucepan and make a caramel. Pour onto a sheet of greaseproof paper and leave to cool. Place the hazelnuts, which have been rubbed to remove as much of the skin as possible, and the caramel, cut into pieces, in the bowl of a blender and blend until you obtain the praline. You’ll have some praline left over for other recipes. It keeps very well in a sealed container. Just make sure you blend it again before use, as the hazelnut oil will rise to the surface.

Pear compote
✔145g pear pieces
✔20g caster sugar
✔2g NH pectin

In a small bowl, combine the sugar and NH pectin. Heat the finely diced pears in a saucepan over a low heat for a few minutes. Stir occasionally. Then increase the heat to a gentle boil. Add the sugar and pectin mixture. Cook over a medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Leave to cool.

Hazelnut praline crisp
✔45g white chocolate
✔40g crêpes dentelles
✔55g hazelnut praline

Mix the praline, melted white chocolate and crêpes dentelles. Roll out between two sheets of baking paper. Place in the freezer for a few minutes and cut to the shape of your mould. Keep in the freezer until ready to assemble.

Hazelnut mousse
✔55g praline
✔30g liquid cream
✔2g gelatine
✔120g single cream

Hydrate the gelatine in very cold water. In a saucepan, heat the 30g of liquid cream with 55g of hazelnut praline to around 60/65°C. Remove from the heat, add the drained gelatine, stir and set aside.

Whip the 120g of cold cream with a mixer and add to the previous mixture, which should be lukewarm and below 35°C.

Assembly

Fill the tin halfway. Add the pear compote. Add a little hazelnut mousse on top and finish with the praline crumble. Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Unmould the cakes and immediately apply the brown velvet spray.

Garnish the hollow of the entremet with a little hazelnut praline. To decorate, I made a caramel in which I added a few hazelnuts.

✔5 g salt
✔25 g caster sugar
✔10 g fresh baker’s yeast
✔60 g (6 cl) cold milk
✔60 g (6 cl) cold mineral water
✔30 g cold PDO Poitou Charentes butter
+
125 g tourage butter

Combine the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, butter; water and milk in the bowl of a food processor. Blend for around ten minutes. Place in a bowl, line and leave to rise for 45 minutes at room temperature.

Deaerate the dough then flatten it with your hands to form a rectangle. Place in a cool place to firm up.

Soften the 125g of butter and shape into a rectangle (the size ⅓ of the pastry).

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry into a rectangle and place the butter in the middle. The butter should be at a temperature of between 12 and 15°C and the tempera at between 6 and 8°C. Cover both ends of the pastry with the butter without overlapping.

Rotate your pastry by 90°C. Roll out the dough into a long rectangle and turn twice. Fold the left side 1/3 towards the centre and then the right side 2/3 without overlapping. Then fold the whole in half. Cut both sides with a cutter. Place in a cool place with cling film.

Roll out the pastry into a long rectangle. Make a single turn and chill, covered with cling film, for at least 30 minutes.

For the pastry cream
✔120g milk
✔1 egg yolk
✔20g caster sugar
✔8g cornflour

Heat the milk in a saucepan. In a bowl, whisk together the yolk, sugar and cornflour. Pour the hot milk over this mixture. Stir and pour back into the saucepan. Stir until the cream thickens. Set aside in a cool place.

Finely dice the pieces of candied orange.

Roll out the pastry into a rectangle. Trim the edges of the rectangle with a box cutter if necessary. Cut out strips. Cover with the crème pâtissière and diced candied orange. Roll out the pastry and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, spacing them well apart as they will increase in size. Place your baking tray in the oven with a pan filled with hot water or at a very low temperature (< 30°) for approximately 1h30 to 2h00.

For the gilding
✔1 egg yolk
✔1 teaspoon single cream

Brown with a mixture of egg yolk and cream then bake at 170°C for 20 to 25 min.

When removed from the oven, place the raisin breads on a wire rack and immediately apply the hot syrup.

Syrup

Pour 30g sugar and 30g water into a small saucepan. Bring to the boil. Turn off the heat. Brush the syrup over your snails immediately.

Assembly

Drain the grapes on kitchen paper.

Remove the crème pâtissière from the fridge. Loosen it a little with a spatula, then line a piping bag fitted with a piping tip, making two small holes under each éclair.

Spread the raisins inside the eclairs (I tried mixing the raisins in the cream but they didn’t fit through my small piping tip, so I recommend putting the raisins on their own before the cream).

Finally, top the éclairs with the rum pastry cream. Place the fondant on each éclair. Decorate with the raisins. Set aside in a cool place.
