Recipe Step by Step

Step01

GREEK YOGURT AND IVOIRE 35% COUVERTURE

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Leave to sit for: 4 hours (1st time)
Leave to sit for: at least 12 hours (2nd time)

120 g IVOIRE 35%
160 g Whipping cream 35%
215 g Greek yogurt
4 g Gelatine sheet

Soak the gelatine in a large quantity of cold water for about twenty minutes. Melt the IVOIRE 35% chocolate in the microwave or bain-marie. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan without boiling it, then add the gelatine which has been allowed to dry.
Make a ganache by pouring the cream over the melted chocolate in three batches. Use a spatula to emulsify the mixture.
Seal the surface of the ganache in the mixing bowl with clingfilm, and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Add the Greek yogurt and incorporate it into the ganache. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 12 hours.
Step02

BLOOD ORANGE GRANITÉ

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Leave to sit for: 24 hours

250 g Blood orange juice*
45 g Caster sugar

* See the Chef’s tip section at the end of the recipe for an alternative fruit.

In a saucepan, over low heat, heat 75g of orange juice with the sugar, without boiling, and dissolve the sugar thoroughly.
Remove from the heat, add the rest of the juice, and pour into a freezer container.
Leave in the freezer for 24 hours.
Step03

CRISPY RASPBERRY MERINGUES

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 2 hours

90 g Egg Whites*
5 g Lemon juice
90 g Caster sugar 
90 g Icing sugar 
Crispy raspberries

*See the Nutrition tip section at the end of the recipe for an alternative ingredient.

Preheat the oven to 205°F (95°C) on the traditional heat setting. Beat the egg whites and lemon juice at medium and constant
speed using the mixer’s whisk attachment. Gradually add the sugar until firm peaks form.
Using a rubber spatula, gently incorporate the previously sifted icing sugar.
Then, fill a piping bag with a plain round nozzle, pipe out small, round meringues, and sprinkle them with crispy raspberries.
Place the meringues in the oven for 2 hours. The meringues are ready when they can be easily removed from the baking paper,
have a matte appearance, and do not stick to your fingers.

Assembly and finishing

Pipe out approximately 80g of cream into the bottom of each verrine.
Using a fork, scrape the granité, and place two full spoonfuls onto the cream.
Garnish with a few small meringues.

Nutrition tip

For a plant-based meringue, replace the egg white with aquafaba (chickpea water).
