SQ RASPBERRY INSPIRATION CRUNCHY PEARLS

Make the sponge, crémeux, whipped ganache and compote.
Cut out 60 biscuits using a 5.5cm-diameter round cutter.
Use a piping bag to pipe out 20g of crémeux per insert and sprinkle 5g of RASPBERRY INSPIRATION CRUNCHY PEARLS onto each one, then freeze.

Use a piston funnel to drizzle 15g of hot compote into the base of each 6cm-diameter half-sphere mold, then freeze.
Beat the whipped ganache until its texture is soft and frothy.
Use a piping bag to pipe 25g of whipped ganache onto the compote, then put the sponge insert, crémeux and Crunchy Pearls in place, pressing down lightly on them. Freeze.

Finishing: Turn out the mini gateaux, then spray with hot ABSOLU CRISTAL glaze.
On acetate, make 1.5 x 23cm strips of pre-set white chocolate, then roll them around the mini gateaux.
Decorate the curve of each mini gateau with RASPBERRY INSPIRATION CRUNCHY PEARLS (see photo).
Finish off with your own Customized Logo Decoration.
