Assembly and finishing
PREPARATION
Prepare the whipped ganache and shortcrust pastry.
Place about 24g of the baba dough in each mold, leave it to rise to 3/4 of the mold and then bake at 320°F (160°C) for about 20 minutes.
Set aside.
Make the soaking syrup and let the babas soak in the hot syrup for about 15 minutes. Set aside for the excess liquid to drain off.
Make the pineapple brunoise and place about 5g of the mixture in each baba.
Pipe the firm whipped ganache onto a silicone mat using a smooth 20mm nozzle (about 30g) and flatten slightly with a guitar sheet, then freeze.
Apply a thin layer of neutral glaze to the whipped ganache.
Place the rum-flavored whipped ganache on the top of the babas.
DECORATIONS AND FINISHES
Place dots of pre-crystallized OPALYS 33% chocolate on a strip of guitar sheet, cover with a second guitar sheet and press together.
Separate the two sheets and on one side, place about 3g of OABIKA directly onto the chocolate. Cover with the second sheet so that the OABIKA is caught between the two drops of chocolate then cut out disks of about 6cm in diameter.
Leave to set in the refrigerator.
Place a disk on top of the whipped ganache. Make the chantilly cream, and create decorative swirls.
